NEET UG Syllabus 2025 released: NMC shares chapter-wise outline of physics, chemistry and biology curriculum

The National Medical Commission of India unveiled the syllabus for NEET-UG 2025 on Tuesday — covering the core subjects of physics, chemistry and biology. The Undergraduate Medical Education Board has also issued an advisory urging candidates to refer to the updated syllabus while preparing for the upcoming academic session.

Meanwhile Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced on Tuesday that efforts were currently underway to “restructure” the National Testing Agency. The NTA will also stop conducting recruitment exams from next year — exclusively focusing on entrance tests for higher education institutions. The restructuring is based on recommendations from a high-level committee formed after the NEET-undergraduate exam paper leak.

The NEET-UG exam is currently conducted offline — in pen and paper mode — with students solving multiple choice questions on an OMR sheet. Pradhan however indicated that deliberations were underway on whether to conduct the medical entrance exam through the online mode next year.

Here is a subject-wise breakdown of the syllabus:
