NEET Biology Deleted Syllabus 2025

NEET Biology Deleted Syllabus 2025 consists of topics like Population and ecological adaptations, Radioactive waste management, the Greenhouse effect and global warning, Ozone depletion, Deforestation and so on. The NEET biology is a combination of topics taken from botany and zoology. The NEET 2025 deleted topics will help stduents understand the chapters that they must not study for the exam. Rather, students must study the topics that consist of more importance and high weightage as most of the questions will be asked from those topics. On the other hand, students must try to look out for topics that repeat themselves every year.
After conducting a detailed analysis, they should study those topics as there is a high chance that these topics will reappear this year as well. Studying repetitive and high-weightage topics with the help of 20-80 study techniques will help students achieve their desired scores. These topics are deleted from the syllabus as they are not relevant as per the medical industry requirements. Some of the topics that are added in the NEET 2025 syllabus are the Classification and nomenclature of enzymes, Dengue, Chikungunya, and Protein biosynthesis. In this article, students can go through the NEET Biology deleted syllabus 2025 topics, added topics and so on.

NEET 2025 Biology Section Preparation Tips and Tricks

There are certain tips and tricks that will help students to prepare better for the exam. Students can find the NEET biology section preparation tips and tricks mentioned below.
  • Make a Dedicated Timetable: Having a proper timetable to prepare for NEET 2025 Biology is crucial for students. It will allow them to equally divide their time and attention between the different topics & concepts in NEET 2025 Biology. Additionally, students must be very consistent regarding the topics that they have to study for the exam. By being consistent form the exam, they will get more familiar with the exam topics.
  • Breakdown Complex Theories: Students may often find the biology terms very difficult to understand generally. However, some of words in the subject have synonymns that students must find out for better understanding. Students must take a note of these words in the syllabus as it will help them to understand the theories better. Once students get familiar with the theories, they will be able to understand the biological phenomenon and concepts.
  • Use Flashcards for Diagrams & Scientific Vocabulary: Flash Cards are an useful way of learning wherein students write down a small part of a big data on a small and flashy piece of paper. As these pages have neon colours, the colour theory works for students and they are able to recall the summary easlity during revision. This can help students comprehend the diagrams &  biological terns more effectively.
  • Take Part in Study Groups: Students must actively take part in study groups as it will give them a chance to interact with other examinees. It will help students in discussing ideas, share knowledge, solve questions while they will be able to learn it together. Stduents will be able to discuss and explain concepts with clarity.  As students doubts will be clear they will be able to memorise the topics more effectively. Further, in group studies, students will be able to fill their knowledge gaps regarding the concepts and topics that they are studying during their exam preparations.
  • Conceptual Mapping: Conceptual mapping is a good way to help in the preparations for NEET 2025 Biology section. Conceptual mappings are visual techniques of learning pr learning methods employed by creating tables, charts, and personal notes, to break down complex topics into small chunks for studying. In the conceptual learning method, students can use colourful ink, highlighters, and bulleted lists and make their NEET exa preparation as well as learning more intresting.
  • Prioritize High-Weightage Topics: Stduents must prortise high weightafe topics as the questions in the exam usually come from these topics. These topics have the most highest weightage and students must spend more time on these topics. As per the analysis, the NEET Biology Important Topics include Ecology and Environment, Biology in Human Welfare, Biotechnology and Its Applications, and Genetics and Evolution and more. Students must prepare these topics as it will help them to get their desired scores and prepare faster for the exam.

  • Practice Daily: Practicing mock tests daily increses students knowledege and will help in understanding exam difficulty levels. Students can jot down the improvement areas based on their mock test performance, analyse their strengths and weaknesses. Students must work on their weaknesses and try to improve in those chapters. Practising daily, will help students to know their preparation levels and stress less on the exam day.

Dear student,

In India, B.Sc Nursing admissions are NOT done basis religion. Seat availability for B.Sc Nursing of Muslim students will be based on merit only. However, you can avail some respite as you are a girl student, & in many colleges, seats are reserved for 'female candidates'. 

Also, if you belong to any of the reserved categories like OBC, SC,ST, PwD, even then you will get some relaxation.
