The NEET 2027 syllabus is the foundation of every successful NEET preparation strategy. Understanding exactly which chapters to study — and how much weightage each carries — can make the difference between a 600+ score and falling short of a government MBBS seat.
At NEET Gurukul, we have analysed 10 years of NEET papers (2013–2024) to bring you the most accurate, chapter-wise weightage data. This guide covers Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Zoology — all based on NCERT Class 11 and 12.
Total Questions: 180 (200 with internal choice) | Total Marks: 720 | Duration: 3 hours 20 minutes
Marking: +4 correct, -1 wrong | Eligibility: 17 years, 50% in PCB (General)

NEET 2027 Preparation Strategy by Subject
For Physics
- Start with NCERT, then switch to H.C. Verma (Concepts of Physics) for numericals
- Practice at least 30 numericals daily from Class 11 Mechanics chapters
- Solve previous 10 years NEET Physics papers — patterns repeat heavily
- Focus: Mechanics (30%) + Electrodynamics (25%) + Modern Physics (15%)
For Chemistry
- NCERT Chemistry (Class 11 + 12) is the Bible — read every example and exercise
- For Organic, use Morrison & Boyd for mechanisms understanding
- Make flashcards for named reactions, exceptions, and periodic trends
- Inorganic Chemistry: memorise NCERT tables — questions are direct
For Biology
- NCERT Biology is non-negotiable — read it 5 to 7 times if needed
- Draw diagrams from memory: human heart, nephron, cell cycle, Calvin cycle
- For Genetics & Evolution: solve numerical problems daily (Punnett squares, Hardy-Weinberg)
- Target 55 to 60 correct out of 90 Biology questions for a 600+ score
