Preparing for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) requires a strategic approach, especially when tackling the Physics section, often considered challenging due to its conceptual depth and problem-solving demands. Understanding the chapter-wise weightage can significantly enhance preparation by allowing aspirants to focus on topics that carry more marks.
The NEET Physics syllabus encompasses topics from both Class 11 and Class 12. Here’s a breakdown of the weightage for each unit:
Class 11 Topics
| Unit No. | Unit Name | NEET Class 11 Topics | Weightage | Approximate Number of Questions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Physical World and Measurement | Physics World, Units and Measurements | 2% | 4 |
| 2 | Kinematics | Motion in a Straight Line, Motion in a Plane | 3% | 3 |
| 3 | Laws of Motion | Laws of Motion | 3% | 3 |
| 4 | Work, Energy and Power | Work, Energy and Power | 4% | 1 |
| 5 | Motion of System of Particles and Rigid Body | System of Particles and Motion | 5% | 3 |
| 6 | Gravitation | Gravitation | 2% | 2 |
| 7 | Properties of Bulk Matter | Mechanical Properties of Solids and Fluids, Thermal Properties of Matter | 3% | 3 |
| 8 | Thermodynamics | Thermodynamics | 9% | 1 |
| 9 | Behaviour of Perfect Gas and Kinetic Theory | Kinetic Theory | 3% | 1 |
Class 12 Topics
| Unit No. | Unit Name | NEET Class 12 Topics | Weightage | Approximate Number of Questions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Electrostatics | Electric Charges and Fields, Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance | 9% | 5 |
| 2 | Current Electricity | Current Electricity | 8% | 5 |
| 3 | Magnetic Effect of Current & Magnetism | Moving Charges and Magnetism, Magnetism and Matter | 5% | 3 |
| 4 | Electromagnetic Induction & Alternating Current | Electromagnetic Induction, Alternating Current | 8% | 4 |
| 5 | Electromagnetic Waves | Electromagnetic Waves | 5% | 2 |
| 6 | Optics | Ray Optics and Optical Instruments, Wave Optics | 10% | 3 |
| 7 | Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation | Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter | 6% | 2 |
| 8 | Atoms & Nuclei | Atoms, Nuclei | 3% | 2 |
| 9 | Electronic Devices | Semiconductor Electronics | 9% | 3 |
Note: The percentage weightage indicates the proportion of questions likely to be asked from each unit, and the number of questions is an approximation based on past trends.
Key Takeaways for NEET Aspirants
- Prioritize High-Weightage Topics: Focus on units like Thermodynamics, Electrostatics, Current Electricity, and Optics, as they collectively contribute a significant portion of the Physics section.
- Strengthen Fundamental Concepts: Ensure a solid understanding of fundamental principles, especially in Mechanics and Electrodynamics, as they form the basis for more complex topics.
- Practice Application-Based Questions: Regularly solve numerical problems and application-based questions to enhance problem-solving skills and time management.
- Revise Regularly: Consistent revision of all topics, with an emphasis on high-weightage chapters, will aid in retaining concepts and improving recall during the exam.
By aligning your study plan with the chapter-wise weightage, you can optimize your preparation and increase your chances of achieving a high score in the NEET Physics section.
