and focus more on. Getting a hang of the NEET important topics helps you plan and
strategise your preparation for NEET.

Most Important chapters for NEET 2020 Physics

  The most important topic for NEET Physics from class 11th syllabus is Mechanics.
On an average 11-12 questions are asked from this important topic in NEET every
year.
 Topics such as Semi-conductors, Heat and Thermodynamics, Laws of Motion,
Kinematics, Work Energy & Power and Rotational Motion are also important and you
need to practice thoroughly these important topics to score well in Physics in your
NEET exam.
 Modern Physics, from class 12th syllabus, is the most important topic for NEET.
 Current Electricity & Magnetism, Electrostatics and Optics are also very important
chapters for NEET 2020 and you should thoroughly prepare and practise these topics.

Most Important chapters for NEET 2020 Chemistry

Organic Chemistry chapters are important for NEET. This section carries more weightage in
NEET exam. So, your conceptual understanding in Organic Chemistry should be absolutely
clear and strong. You should also practice the following important topics for NEET
Chemistry thoroughly to develop your test-taking abilities and scoring well in the NEET
exam:

 Equilibrium
 Chemical Bonding and Molecular structure
 Electrochemistry
 Chemical Kinetics
 Coordination Compounds
 Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids
 S, P, D and F Block Elements
 Hydrocarbons
 Atomic structure

Important chapters for NEET 2020 Biology

 Ecology is the most important topic for NEET Biology. On an average, 12-15
questions are asked in the NEET exam from this topic every year. This is an easy and
the most scoring topic in biology.
 Human Physiology and Plant physiology are equally important topics for NEET 2020.
Together around 20-25 questions are asked from these two topics in NEET exam.
