A leading approximately marks hours that were estimated rather than counted from a syllabus topic list. How these figures are derived is set out in the overlap model.

How much of school it covers

82 of 96 chapters of the CBSE Class XI–XII curriculum in Physics, Chemistry, Biology.

Not examined

  • States of Matter: Gases and LiquidsNo States of Matter unit. Gas laws, ideal-gas behaviour, liquefaction and intermolecular forces appear nowhere in the twenty chemistry units.
  • HydrogenNo Hydrogen unit. The word appears only inside other units as hydrogen bonding and hydrogen halides, never as the element's own chemistry.
  • s-Block ElementsNo s-Block unit. Conspicuous rather than silent: p-Block (Unit 10) and d- and f-Block (Unit 11) are both listed, and the alkali and alkaline earth metals are not.
  • Environmental ChemistryNo Environmental Chemistry unit. "Environmental" occurs once, describing the effects of chloroform and DDT inside Organic Compounds containing Halogens.
  • Surface ChemistryNo Surface Chemistry unit. Adsorption, colloids and emulsions appear nowhere.
  • General Principles and Processes of Isolation of ElementsNo unit on the isolation of elements. Neither metallurgy nor any extraction principle appears.
  • PolymersNo Polymers unit. "Polymerization" occurs only as a reaction of alkenes and alkynes within Hydrocarbons.
  • Chemistry in Everyday LifeNo Chemistry in Everyday Life unit. Drugs, soaps and detergents appear nowhere in the chemistry syllabus.
  • Transport in PlantsUnit 4 Plant Physiology lists exactly three bullets — Photosynthesis, Respiration, and Plant growth and development. Transport in plants is not among them.
  • Mineral NutritionSame three bullets in Unit 4. Mineral nutrition is not among them.
  • Digestion and AbsorptionUnit 5 Human Physiology lists six bullets — breathing, body fluids and circulation, excretion, locomotion, neural control, chemical coordination. Digestion and absorption is not among them.
  • Reproduction in OrganismsUnit 6 Reproduction lists three bullets — sexual reproduction in flowering plants, human reproduction, reproductive health. The general chapter on reproduction in organisms is not among them.
  • Strategies for Enhancement in Food ProductionUnit 8 Biology and Human Welfare lists two bullets — health and disease, and microbes in human welfare. Strategies for enhancement in food production is not among them.
  • Environmental IssuesUnit 10 Ecology and Environment lists three bullets — organisms and environment, ecosystem, biodiversity and its conservation. Environmental issues is not among them.

If you are using this to decide what to skip rather than what to expect, check it against the syllabus below too. A chapter dropped in error costs more than one revised unnecessarily.

Read off Syllabus for Examination of NEET UG 2025 — NMC/UGMEB, 14-12-2024, checked 15 Aug 2026. Where that document is silent about a chapter, it is counted as examined: being told something is off the syllabus and then meeting it is the worse mistake.
