The wait is finally over for the NEET UG 2026 aspirants! The National Medical Commission (NMC) has officially released the NEET UG 2026 Syllabus. This is the most critical document for your preparation, as it confirms exactly which chapters you need to study and, more importantly, which topics you can skip.

Unlike previous years where confusion persisted between old and new NCERT books, the Under Graduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) of the NMC has clarified that the NEET 2026 syllabus will strictly align with the rationalized Class 11 and 12 NCERT curriculum.

In this post, we provide the complete breakdown of the Physics, Chemistry, and Biology syllabus, the exam pattern, and the direct link to download the official NEET 2026 Syllabus PDF.

NEET UG 2026 Syllabus: Overview

Before looking at complete chapter lists, here is a quick overview of the exam structure confirmed by the NMC and expected to be ratified by the NTA.

Important Clarification: Why NMC and Not NTA?

Many students are confused about why the syllabus was released by the NMC instead of the NTA. It is crucial to understand the difference:

NMC: The National Medical Commission is the regulatory body for medical education. They decide the academic standards, eligibility, and the syllabus. They tell the exam agency what to test.
NTA: The National Testing Agency is responsible for logistics—conducting the exam, issuing admit cards, and declaring results. They follow the syllabus set by the NMC.

Note: Do not wait for the NTA Information Bulletin (expected in Feb 2026) to start studying. The syllabus released by the NMC is final and 100% official.

NEET 2026 Syllabus: Subject-Wise

The syllabus largely follows the rationalized NCERT pattern (similar to the 2024-25 cycle). Below are the key units you must cover.
