Will NEET 2025 Syllabus be Reduced?

The NEET UG syllabus for 2025 is expected to be reduced by 30% due to NCERT's new edition of books and deletions. The final syllabus is expected to be released on the NMC's website by the final week of December 2024. The NEET UG exam is the entrance exam for undergraduate medical courses, and candidates should prepare according to the latest NEET Exam Pattern. The NEET 2025 Exam is likely to be May 5, 2025.
The NEET syllabus will be based on classes 11 and 12 of CBSE and State Boards.  Every chapter in the NEET syllabus will have a definite weightage and candidates must prepare for the NEET exam strategically. In this article, know in detail about the NEET 2025 Syllabus and more. 

Will the NEET 2025 Syllabus be Modified?

The NEET Syllabus is expected to be modified by 30% as per the latest notifications but the chances are slim. NTA will release the reduced syllabus on behalf of the NMC (National Medical Commission). The NEET 2025 syllabus 2025 is expected to be released in December 2025 along with the detailed NEET notification. The Physics and Chemistry chapters are expected to have a weightage of 25% while the Biology chapters are expected to have a weightage of 50% respectively.
