NEET Exam Syllabus:
NEET 2021 exam syllabus comprises biology, physics, and chemistry of class 11 and 12 standards. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic CBSE and UP boards reduced syllabi by 30% whereas CISCE reduces ICSE, and ISC syllabi by 25%.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia suggested that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the entrance exam like NEET and JEE should be based on the reduced syllabus. Also Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ has directed the National Testing Agency to create a new syllabus. But National Testing Agency has not published any official notice on these matters yet.
