This is the full NEET(UG) Physics syllabus, unit by unit, in NMC’s own words. Under each unit you will also see what was taken out in the 2024 revision, and the chapters on this site that belong to it. Students call it the deleted syllabus. NMC publishes no deleted list of its own, so what is marked taken out below is read straight from the official documents.
Which document this is: Syllabus for NEET (UG) – 2026, published by NMC. Physics has 20 units, and Unit 20 is Experimental Skills.
The NEET 2027 syllabus has not been published yet. Until NMC puts out a new one, this 2026 syllabus is what you study from. We will update this page the day a new one appears.
Last checked against the official document: 8 November 2026. We check it again every time NMC publishes a new one.
The 2024 revision cut a lot. A question bank written before that still carries topics which cannot be asked any more, so the removed list under each unit matters as much as the syllabus itself.

The official document is published by NMC. You can download it from NTA’s NEET site or the NMC site.
The syllabus says what can be asked(सिलेबस बताता है क्या पूछा जा सकता है)
A syllabus tells you what can be asked. It does not tell you what you can answer. Only a timed paper does that.(सिलेबस यह बताता है कि क्या पूछा जा सकता है। यह नहीं बताता कि आप क्या हल कर सकते हैं। यह सिर्फ़ टाइम लगाकर दिया गया पेपर बताता है।)
Sanjeevani has three timed papers for every chapter of this syllabus, each with a target score, an answer key and a hint for every question. Read a chapter, then sit its paper the same week.(संजीवनी में इस सिलेबस के हर चैप्टर के तीन टाइम्ड पेपर हैं — टारगेट स्कोर, आंसर की, और हर सवाल का हिंट। एक चैप्टर पढ़िए, और उसी हफ़्ते उसका पेपर दीजिए।)
