No New Topics Added
The NMC has not introduced any new topics or removed any existing ones from the NEET UG 2025 syllabus.
Repeated Errors

Despite a clarification issued last year that the frog was mistakenly listed instead of the cockroach, the new syllabus still lists the frog as an insect. In Unit 2 of the Biology syllabus, it mentions “Animal tissues; Morphology, anatomy, and functions of different systems (digestive, circulatory, respiratory, nervous, and reproductive) of an insect (Frog). (Brief account only).”
Missing Terms from Latest NCERT
Unit 1 of the Biology syllabus for NEET UG 2025 includes the topic “Diversity in Living World • What is living?”, which is not part of the latest NCERT syllabus, although it appears in older versions.
Out-of-Syllabus Topics Included
The NEET UG 2025 syllabus also includes topics that were previously considered out of scope, such as Protein Biosynthesis, Tobacco Abuse, Malvaceae, Cruciferae, Leguminoceae, Compositae, and Graminae.
