Are there chapter-wise weightages available for NEET 2026 like previous years?

Yes, aspirants often look for NEET chapter-wise weightage to decide which topics to prioritise. While NTA (National Testing Agency) does not officially release chapter-wise marks distribution for upcoming exams, students and coaching institutes calculate weightage by analysing previous 10–15 years’ NEET and AIPMT papers.

For NEET 2026, the exam follows the standard pattern of 180 compulsory MCQs (720 marks, +4/−1 marking, 3 hours). Based on PYQ analysis, here’s an approximate chapter-wise weightage for each subject:

Biology (90 Questions – 360 Marks, 50% Weightage)

• Genetics & Evolution – 12–14 questions
• Human Physiology – 10–12 questions
• Ecology & Environment – 10–12 questions
• Reproduction (XI & XII) – 8–9 questions
• Plant Physiology – 7–9 questions
• Biotechnology – 5–6 questions
• Diversity of Living World – 5–7 questions

Physics (45 Questions – 180 Marks)

• Mechanics – 6–8 questions
• Modern Physics + Semiconductors – 6–7 questions
• Electrostatics + Current Electricity + Magnetism + EMI – 10–12 questions
• Optics (Ray + Wave) – 4–5 questions
• Thermodynamics + Waves & Oscillations – 5–6 questions
• Properties of Matter – 2–3 questions

Chemistry (45 Questions – 180 Marks)

• Physical Chemistry (Thermodynamics, Equilibrium, Electrochemistry) – 12–13 questions
• Organic Chemistry (General Principles, Hydrocarbons, Biomolecules, Polymers) – 10–12 questions
• Inorganic Chemistry (Chemical Bonding, Coordination Compounds, p-block, d-block) – 9–10 questions
• Other topics (Environmental Chemistry, Surface Chemistry, etc.) – 4–5 questions

Key Takeaways for NEET 2026

• Biology dominates (50%) – focus on NCERT line-by-line, especially diagrams, tables, and examples.
• Physics is rank-deciding – prioritise Modern Physics, Electrostatics, Optics, and Mechanics.
• Chemistry is balanced – Physical + Organic + Inorganic almost equally contribute.
• PYQ analysis is the best guide to chapter-wise importance, since patterns repeat.

While exact NEET 2026 chapter-wise weightage isn’t officially published, PYQ trends show that Genetics, Ecology, Human Physiology (Biology), Modern Physics (Physics), and Physical + Organic Chemistry (Chemistry) are the highest-scoring areas.
