FAQ’s shared by NTA about NEET UG 2024 Exam

Why the syllabus of NEET (UG) has revised for the Academic Year 2024-25? 

Due to the COVID-19 scenario, various School Boards deleted portions of each subject’s syllabus and these boards have not taken the deleted portion back till now. The deletions were not uniform across various boards. Hence, several requests received by the NTA for the revision of the syllabus. 

In Unit 2 of the Biology syllabus, it written – “of an insect (Frog)”. But Frog is not an insect. 

The correct interpretation is ‘of an insect and a frog‘.
