According to NTA, releasing the NEET syllabus 2024 PDF before the information brochure or the application form was done to help students plan their preparation accordingly. However, unlike previous years, the chapters are not segregated into Class 11 and Class 12 chapters.
Moreover, the NMC NEET syllabus for Chemistry has been segregated into three parts, Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry. A number of chapters or topics have been removed from all three subjects, whereas a few topics have been added as well. The changes in the NEET UG syllabus have been brought in to maintain parity with the other State Board exam syllabus for Class 11 and Class 12.
