Ask any student preparing for the NEET exam (or any other competitive exam), what is the most important step in exam preparation. Most of the NEET applicants will be confused.
Like other competitive exams, First, it is imperative to understand and comprehend the complete syllabus, which many students neglect and start preparing for NEET randomly. But before starting your preparation, you should not forget one most important aspect of it, i.e. Syllabus.
Every NEET applicant should be familiar with the complete syllabus of the NEET 2023 exam. To pass this exam, you must know the syllabus for all three subjects, their respective chapters, and their topic-wise weightage. This will allow aspirants to easily understand the NEET Exam Pattern, dedicate more time to high weightage topics and score high marks.
We will answer various questions about the NEET exam, like What is the syllabus prescribed by NTA for the NEET-2023 exam? Is the NEET 2023 syllabus being changed or increased by NTA?
As we pointed out earlier, for NEET 2023 Exam preparation, the syllabus is the most important part, to begin with, and this article will answer all your questions about the NEET 2023 syllabus.
The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is an all-India premedical entrance exam for students who want to pursue undergraduate medical courses like MBBS, BDS, and equivalent AYUSH courses. The National Medical Commission Act, 2019, Section-14 states that NEET is the uniform and standard medical entrance test for UG courses in all medical institutes.
NEET 2023 will be conducted by NTA (National Testing Agency), following the syllabus prescribed by MCI (Medical Council of India) which is knows as NMC (National Medical Commission).
