AppNEET 2027 Syllabus
What the NMC actually notified — unit by unit, subject by subject — plus the exam pattern, where the marks actually sit, and every chapter page.
The NMC syllabus lists 20 Physics units, 20 Chemistry units and 10 Biology units. The paper is 180 questions for 720 marks in three hours, with +4 for a correct answer and −1 for a wrong one.
Those 50 units break down into the 97 chapters you actually study — listed in full further down, each linking to its own questions, videos and tests.
Nothing has changed for NEET 2027. The syllabus in force is still the reduced one the NMC notified in 2023, and no revision has been published since — so the units and the 97 chapters below all carry over unchanged.
Units notified #
The National Medical Commission notified the reduced syllabus on 22 Oct 2023; NTA confirmed it on 22 Nov 2023. These are the units, verbatim.
NTA notifies the syllabus as units, and units are not chapters. "Properties of Solid and Liquids" is one notified Physics unit; in the NCERT books you study it as two separate chapters. That is why 50 notified units become the 97 chapters listed further down — and why a unit list on its own is close to useless for planning revision.
Read the units to know what is examinable. Read the chapter lists to know what to study.

A wrong answer costs you five marks relative to leaving it blank — four you don't gain, one you lose. That arithmetic is the whole argument for accuracy over coverage in the last month.
Where the marks are #
Biology is half the paper, and the best return on a chapter of revision — 9.5 marks per chapter against Chemistry's 5.6.
| Subject | Questions | Marks | Chapters | Marks / chapter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Physics | 45 | 180 | 27 | 6.7 |
| Chemistry | 45 | 180 | 32 | 5.6 |
| Biology (Botany + Zoology) | 90 | 360 | 38 | 9.5 |
| Total | 180 | 720 | 97 | 7.4 |
Chemistry is the awkward one: 32 chapters, the most of any subject, for a quarter of the paper. Physics covers the same quarter in 27. Nothing here can be skipped, but knowing a Chemistry chapter is worth less than a Biology one is the difference between revising by subject and revising by return.
This is arithmetic, not weightage data — it assumes questions spread evenly across chapters, and they do not. The per-chapter figures on each subject page are what to plan against. What the table settles is the coarser question: which subject repays a week of revision fastest.
All 97 chapters #
Each subject has its own syllabus page listing every chapter with weightage and practice links.
