NEET Biology Deleted Syllabus: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has released the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET UG) syllabus for the 2024 exam. The syllabus has been revised and reduced to 79 chapters from the previous 97 chapters, with a focus on core concepts. Significant portions of the Physics, Chemistry and Biology syllabi have been removed while a few topics have been added or modified to align with the latest developments in medical education. This change aims to streamline preparation and focus on essential knowledge required for medical studies.
In this article of Jagran Josh, you can check the the NEET Biology Deleted Syllabus that comprises the list of topics deleted from class 11 and class 12 Biology syllabus. You will get to know the topics of Biology which will not be assessed in the upcoming NEET 2024. Check the complete list of deleted Biology topics for NEET 2024 below:
