Inorganic and Organic Chemistry chapters have almost similar weightage. In terms of the ratio of Class 11 and Class 12 syllabus of NEET the latter has a higher weightage. The total number of questions asked from the Chemistry section will be 50, out of which 45 questions have to be attempted.

The Biology section of NEET is divided into two sub-sections: Zoology and Botany. Each of these sections will have 50 questions, out of which candidates will have to attempt 45 questions. The total number of questions on Biology in the NEET question paper will be 90. The topics and chapters from Zoology and Botany subjects will be equally distributed. Among the three subjects, Biology has the highest weightage in NEET syllabus. Based on the last year's NEET analysis, the important topics of Botany and Zoology along with their weightages are given in the below table.

The chance of a NEET question coming out of syllabus is low. As per the previous years' analysis, the questions were within the NEET syllabus only and the topics or chapters were evenly distributed. In case candidates encounter any question which is out of the syllabus, they must report it to the invigilator. In case test-takers know the answer and is sure of the accuracy, then they can attempt the question. Otherwise, they should leave the question unattempted. If it is proved that the question is out of NEET 2024 syllabus, NTA would cancel the question and award full marks to the candidates.
