    Important Topics for NEET Chemistry

    Important Topics for NEET Chemistry

    NEET chemistry syllabus can be divided into 3 parts i.e Organic, Inorganic, and Physical Chemistry. The weightage of questions asked from each section is almost the same every year. 

    • NEET Physical Chemistry: It’s the numerical section of NEET Chemistry.
    • NEET Organic Chemistry: From this section, you must focus on memorizing the names of various compounds that constitute reagents, subtracts, etc.
    • NEET Inorganic Chemistry: This section is considered the easiest section of NEET Chemistry.

    Candidates must note that NEET 2023 syllabus will be reduced. As the classes will start late this year, candidates will not get enough time to cover all the important topics hence the authorities have decided to curtail NEET 2023 syllabus. Check NEET Chemistry Syllabus

    Important Topics based on all the 3 sections of chemistry are mentioned in the table below:

    Ans. One of my friends studies there and he once told me that his dream comes true after getting admission to this institute. He mentioned that there are many things, which are actually looking forward by every student.  This institute provides the best clinical posting, Academics, and extracurricular opportunities such as sports and cultural events.  The college administration itself organizes some CDE programs and seminars for the betterment of the students.  In your third year, you will get the opportunity to work with AIIMS Rishikesh for your studies in General Medicine and General Surgery.  My friend has just completed his work experiences in AIIMS, which is really a life-changing knowledge for him considering his future career perspectives.  However, the Dental Schools' lack of exposure is a Myth, but this institute works hard to provide its students world-class services and medical equipment. This institute is on the River Ganges banks, which is very relaxing, and the college environment is very soothing and breathtakingly beautiful. My friend has just finished his 3 years in this college, and he mentioned that this institute provides a homely feeling. Teachers are amiable, kind, and helpful. Thus, if you want to take admission to this institute, go for it. Read more
