Can I skip certain chapters and still score 720/720 in NEET?

Technically, no — if your goal is to score a perfect 720/720 in NEET, you cannot afford to skip any chapter. NEET questions are known to come directly from NCERT lines, and even low-weightage chapters have contributed 1–2 questions in past papers. Missing those could cost you crucial marks.

However, if your goal is to score 600+ or 650+, you can adopt a priority strategy where you master the high-weightage chapters first and cover the rest in revision cycles.

Why you should not skip chapters for 720/720

• NEET 2025–26 pattern has 180 compulsory MCQs (no optional Section B), which means every question matters.
• Even “low-weight” chapters like Mineral Nutrition, Polymers, or Surface Chemistry have contributed 1–2 questions.
• A single mistake can reduce your rank by hundreds or even thousands.

Chapters You Must Master (High-Yield)

• Biology (50% weightage): Genetics, Ecology, Human Physiology, Reproduction, Plant Physiology.
• Physics: Mechanics, Modern Physics, Optics, Current Electricity, Electrostatics.
• Chemistry: Thermodynamics, Equilibrium, p-block/d-block, Organic Reactions & Biomolecules.

Chapters Some Students Try to Skip

• Mineral Nutrition (Biology)
• Polymers, Environmental Chemistry (Chemistry)
• Some lengthy derivations in Physics (like certain parts of Rotational Motion)

But remember: skipping is risky. Students on Reddit and Quora often say they regret skipping “small chapters” when direct, easy questions came from them.

• If aiming for 720/720 → Don’t skip any chapter. Read even minor topics at least once from NCERT.
• If aiming for 650+ → Prioritise high-yield topics, but still cover low-weight chapters quickly (short notes, PYQs, NCERT highlights).
• Use PYQ analysis to see which chapters repeat most often.

If you want a perfect 720, skipping is not an option. But for 600–650+, a smart focus on high-scoring chapters + a light revision of small topics can work.
