The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) will be conducted on 5 May 2013, from 10

am to 1 pm. Various centers have been designated in the country for the test, along with some in

Dubai and Riyadh. The NEET UG 2013 is a pen and paper exam. It will carry 180 objective type

questions, which are to be attempted in machine-readable OCR sheets in blue/black ball point

NEET 2013 Syllabus

The exam will cover Physics, Chemistry and Biology (Botany & Zoology). The prerequisites

have been decided after a careful review of the various educational standards in the country,

namely, CBSE, NCERT, and COBSE. The classes included in setting the test paper are XI and

XII, but students must note that not the entire syllabus is applicable. For instance, some of the

topics from Physics and many from Chemistry have been omitted. The details of the syllabus are

given in the prospectus, which can also be downloaded from the website http://cbseneet.nic.in.

While there is still some time for the exam, students are advised to take a fresh look at the basic

concepts, carefully understand important concepts and devise shortcuts to memorize. Finally,

make sure you go through at least five or six timed tests to ensure you can solve problems at the

required speed.
