NEET 2018 Syllabus

Central Board of Secondary Education or CBSE prescribes NEET Syllabus each year. It comprises of Physics, Chemistry and Biology subjects. The syllabus for NEET describes all important chapters & topics and also the weight-age each of them carries.

As per the previous year analysis, Class 12 topics carried more weightage in the medical entrance examination. Therefore, it is advisable to brush up all Class 12 concepts first. 

• The syllabus for Physics, Chemistry and Biology will be as per the topics covered in CBSE Class 11th and 12th. Check NEET Exam Pattern
• NEET Syllabus for Biology includes 30 chapters from CBSE syllabi of both class 11 and 12.
• In the Biology section, the topics from Class 11 hold more weightage than those of class 12.
• As per the analysis from last 10 years, we infer that the maximum questions in Biology come from Principles of Inheritance and Variation followed by Molecular Basis of Inheritance and Morphology of Flowering Plants. 
• NEET Syllabus for Chemistry consists of 18 major topics which dominate the section with most of the questions.
• For the Chemistry section, candidates are required to focus more on the topics of Class 12 than Class 11 chemistry topics.
• In Chemistry, the maximum questions are asked from Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure followed by Equilibrium and Hydrocarbons. 
• NEET Syllabus for Physics comprises 23 chapters.
• Physics section is considered one of the toughest thresholds in NEET by many of the aspirants.
• It gives maximum weightage to Class 12 topics than Class 11 topics from CBSE Syllabus. Most of the questions are asked from Current Electricity, Semi- Conductors and Laws of Motion. 

CBSE will hold the medical examination in May 2018. NEET is conducted for admission to MBBS and BDS courses in India. It is a national level entrance exam held in offline mode. There are 180 multiple choice questions in the examination which must be solved in a duration of 3 hours. Aspirants will be provided with OMR sheet on which they have to fill their responses in ball point pen only. The stationery will be provided to them at NEET exam centers. Check NEET Exam Pattern

There are 4 sections in the exam- Physics, Chemistry, Botany, and Zoology- with 45 MCQs in each section.

Candidates have to choose the most appropriate answer from among the four choices.

NEET 2018 can be given in 10 languages namely English, Hindi, Tamil, Gujarati, Telugu, Bengali, Assamese, Marathi, Oriya, and Kannada.
