JIPMER MBBS Syllabus 2027: Unit-wise NEET UG Syllabus Guide
The JIPMER MBBS syllabus is the NEET UG syllabus. JIPMER stopped conducting its own MBBS entrance test after 2019, and seats at JIPMER Puducherry and Karaikal are now filled only through NEET UG ranks and MCC counselling. The syllabus for NEET UG is notified by the National Medical Commission (NMC) and covers Physics, Chemistry and Biology from Classes 11 and 12.
This page gives you a unit-by-unit checklist for all three subjects, the topics to start with, the Class 11 and Class 12 split, and a phased plan to finish the syllabus with time left for mocks. The NMC confirmed the NEET UG 2026 syllabus without removing any chapters. The 2027 syllabus has not yet been notified, so verify it on the NMC and NTA websites when it is released.

JIPMER MBBS Syllabus at a Glance
Subject | Units in NMC syllabus | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
Physics | 20 | 45 | 180 |
Chemistry | 20 | 45 | 180 |
Biology (Botany and Zoology) | 10 | 90 | 360 |
Total | 50 | 180 | 720 |
The question and mark split follows the NEET UG 2026 pattern: 180 compulsory questions in 180 minutes, with 4 marks for a correct answer and minus 1 for a wrong one. NEET UG is expected to become a computer-based test from 2027, but the syllabus and subject weightage are not affected by the mode. Read the JIPMER MBBS exam pattern guide for the full marking scheme.
Key Changes to Know
NEET UG replaced the JIPMER exam: The old JIPMER MBBS paper had English and Logical Reasoning sections. These are no longer tested. Only Physics, Chemistry and Biology matter now.
Aligned with rationalised NCERT: The NMC revised the NEET UG syllabus for 2024 to match the rationalised NCERT textbooks. The same structure continued in 2025 and 2026.
Chemistry chapters dropped: Older study material may still include States of Matter, Surface Chemistry, Hydrogen, s-Block Elements, General Principles of Isolation of Elements, Environmental Chemistry, Polymers and Chemistry in Everyday Life. These are not in the current NMC syllabus.
Practical-based units: Physics has an Experimental Skills unit and Chemistry has a unit on principles related to practical chemistry. Expect questions on standard Class 11 and 12 experiments.
Older pages may still show the pre-2024 syllabus or the old JIPMER sections, so always check against the official NMC syllabus PDF.
Physics Syllabus
Physics carries 45 questions. Most of them test concept application through short numericals, so understanding formulas and their limits matters more than memorising derivations.

Chemistry Syllabus
Chemistry is the most scoring subject for many toppers because a large share of questions comes straight from NCERT. The NMC syllabus divides it into physical, inorganic and organic chemistry.
Physical Chemistry
Unit | Topics to cover | Start with |
|---|---|---|
Some Basic Concepts in Chemistry | Mole concept, molar mass, empirical and molecular formulae, stoichiometry | Mole concept |
Atomic Structure | Bohr model, quantum numbers, orbitals, electronic configuration, Aufbau principle | Quantum numbers |

Principles Related to Practical Chemistry | Detection of elements and functional groups, preparation of inorganic and organic compounds, titrations, salt analysis | Functional group tests |
Physical chemistry rewards formula practice, inorganic chemistry rewards repeated NCERT reading, and organic chemistry rewards understanding mechanisms. Chemical bonding, coordination compounds and organic reaction conversions are areas you cannot afford to skip.
Biology Syllabus
Biology carries 90 questions, half of the paper. Questions are closely tied to NCERT text, diagrams, tables and examples, so line-by-line reading is non-negotiable.
Unit | Topics to cover | Start with |
|---|---|---|
1. Diversity in Living World | Taxonomy, five-kingdom classification, plant kingdom, animal kingdom up to phylum and class level | Animal kingdom |
2. Structural Organisation in Animals and Plants | Morphology and anatomy of flowering plants, animal tissues, frog (morphology and organ systems) | Plant morphology |
3. Cell Structure and Function | Cell theory, cell organelles, biomolecules, enzymes, cell cycle, mitosis and meiosis | Cell cycle and division |
4. Plant Physiology | Photosynthesis, respiration in plants, plant growth and development, plant growth regulators | Photosynthesis |
5. Human Physiology | Breathing and gas exchange, body fluids and circulation, excretion, locomotion and movement, neural control, chemical coordination | Circulation and excretion |
6. Reproduction | Sexual reproduction in flowering plants, human reproduction, reproductive health | Human reproduction |
7. Genetics and Evolution | Mendelian inheritance, chromosomal theory, sex determination, molecular basis of inheritance, DNA replication, transcription, translation, gene regulation, evolution | Molecular basis of inheritance |
8. Biology and Human Welfare | Health and disease, immunity, common diseases, microbes in human welfare | Immunity and diseases |
9. Biotechnology and Its Applications | Principles and processes of biotechnology, recombinant DNA technology, applications in health and agriculture | Tools of recombinant DNA |
10. Ecology and Environment | Organisms and populations, ecosystem, biodiversity and conservation | Ecosystem and biodiversity |
Genetics and evolution, human physiology, reproduction, and ecology are consistently heavy areas in recent NEET papers. Diagram-based questions on plant morphology, the human heart, nephron and reproductive structures appear often, so revise labelled NCERT figures along with the text.
Class 11 and Class 12 Split
The syllabus is close to evenly divided between the two classes. Students in Class 12 often neglect Class 11 topics, which costs them marks later.
Subject | Mainly Class 11 | Mainly Class 12 | How to plan |
|---|---|---|---|
Physics | Units 1 to 10 (mechanics, thermal physics, oscillations) | Units 11 to 19 (electricity, magnetism, optics, modern physics) | Revise Class 11 mechanics alongside Class 12 electricity, as both need strong problem-solving |
Chemistry | Basic concepts, atomic structure, bonding, thermodynamics, equilibrium, periodicity, basic organic chemistry, hydrocarbons | Solutions, electrochemistry, kinetics, d- and f-block, coordination compounds, halogen, oxygen and nitrogen compounds, biomolecules | Finish basic organic chemistry before Class 12 organic units |
Biology | Diversity, structural organisation, cell, plant physiology, human physiology | Reproduction, genetics and evolution, human welfare, biotechnology, ecology | Keep a weekly Class 11 revision slot while studying Class 12 chapters |
Is the Old JIPMER Syllabus Still Relevant?
Only partly. The old JIPMER MBBS exam included English Language and Comprehension and Logical and Quantitative Reasoning, along with Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Those two extra sections are not part of NEET UG and should not take any of your study time. Previous JIPMER question papers in Physics, Chemistry and Biology can still serve as extra practice, but NEET previous year papers are a far better guide to the current level and question style.
There is no interview or separate test for JIPMER MBBS. After NEET UG, the only remaining step is MCC counselling.
How to Cover the Syllabus
A JIPMER Puducherry seat needs a rank near the top of NEET UG, so the aim is complete coverage plus very high accuracy. The phased plan below suits a 12-month preparation window; compress it proportionally if you have less time.
Months 1 to 4, build concepts: Study NCERT chapter by chapter in all three subjects. Make short notes for formulas, reactions and Biology facts. Solve NCERT exercises and examples.
Months 3 to 6, add topic tests: After each chapter, attempt a chapter-wise test. Track accuracy per chapter and mark anything below 80% for review.
Months 5 to 8, previous year papers: Solve NEET papers topic-wise. Note repeated concepts and NCERT lines that questions are built on.
Months 7 to 10, part and full syllabus tests: Take subject-wise tests and half-syllabus mocks every week. Practise in a computer-based interface if NEET UG 2027 is confirmed as online.
Final phase, full-length mocks: Attempt two to three full-length mocks a week in 180 minutes. Analyse each one the same day and revise from your error log, not from fresh material.
Topic-wise practice is where most rank improvement happens. You can attempt chapter-wise and full-length NEET UG mock tests on Testkart and use the section-wise analysis to see which units are pulling your score down. Combine them with NEET previous year question papers and concise NEET study notes for quick revision.
The JIPMER MBBS syllabus is the official NMC NEET UG syllabus, so make it your single reference. Download the latest PDF, tick off each unit as you finish it, and keep checking for the 2027 notification. Official sources: National Medical Commission and NEET UG official website (NTA).
