The National Medical Commission (NMC) has released the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET UG) 2026 syllabus, outlining the topics to be covered in Biology, Physics and Chemistry for the upcoming NEET 2026 medical entrance examination. The NEET UG 2026 syllabus is available on the official website – nmc.org.in.
The NEET UG 2026 syllabus is based on the Class 11 and Class 12 course curriculum, focusing on the concepts outlined in NCERT textbooks. Candidates preparing for NEET UG 2026 are advised to refer only to the syllabus notified by the National Medical Commission for structured and exam-oriented preparation.
