Section-wise Distribution

Chemistry is an easy-scoring subject and to get that perfect score, one must have a solid 2 years of preparation. Here, let’s see the step-by-step preparation guide for the NEET 2024 Chemistry.

The first step is to know the mark distribution in all the 3 chemistry sections – organic, inorganic and physical. The following data is an approximate average of the previous years’ data. This will give a rough idea on the number of questions that might be asked from each section.

Section wise distribution - Chemistry

Inorganic chemistry deals with the structure and properties of atoms, molecules, molecular bonds, etc. This is one of the most challenging portions of chemistry that comprises around 38% of questions. Physical chemistry is a vast portion that deals with many important numerical problems. It comprises around 32% of the total chemistry questions. Organic chemistry is another important section that deals with chemical nomenclature and comprises around 30% of the total questions.

Class 11 Chemistry Syllabus

Often, the chemistry questions are framed directly from the NCERT textbook concepts. Every year, these questions will differ only in terms of complexity. Thus, it is vital to know and understand the NEET chemistry syllabus

Sections Chapters Approximate No. of Questions
Inorganic Chemistry Classification of Elements and Periodic Properties 1
Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure 3
Hydrogen 1
s-block Elements 2
p-block Elements 3-4 (including 12th)
Environmental Chemistry 1
Physical Chemistry Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry 1 -2
States of Matter 1
Atomic Structure 2
Chemical Thermodynamics 2
Redox Reactions 1
Equilibrium 2-3
Organic Chemistry Organic Chemistry – General Principles and Techniques 1-2
Hydrocarbons 3

Class 12 Chemistry Syllabus

Sections Chapters Approximate No. of Questions
Inorganic Chemistry General Principles and Processes of Isolation of Metals 1
p-block Elements 3-4 (including 11th)
d and f-block Elements 2
Coordination Compounds 2
Physical Chemistry Solid State 1-2
Solutions 2
Electrochemistry 2
Chemical Kinetics 2
Surface Chemistry 1
Organic Chemistry Haloalkanes and Haloarenes 2
Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers 1-2
Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids 2-3
Amines 1
Polymers 1-2
Biomolecules 2

Both Class 11 and 12 Chapters are of equal importance. Usually, around 50 to 52 % of questions come from Class 12 and 48 to 50% come from Class 11. The average number of questions asked from each Chapter is also provided in the above table. Thus, you can prioritise Chapters based on their weightage. All this rough data will help while curating customised study planners.

Study Materials Required

  • The one and the most important study guide required to crack this exam is NCERT textbooks. Every year, around 95% of Chemistry questions are asked from NCERT. Thus, be thorough with the Class 11 and 12 NCERT concepts before moving on to any other study guide.
  • As mentioned earlier, physical chemistry concepts comprise many numerical problems. Try to solve all textbook problems and practise the same to strengthen your preparations. Likewise, theoretical concepts and chemical reactions are important in organic and inorganic chemistry.
  • Practise previous years’ question papers and interpret the types of questions asked. These question papers and NCERTs are sufficient to crack NEET.
  • In case you need additional assistance in solving textbook problems, refer to the following books –
  1. Problems in Inorganic Chemistry – V.K. Jaiswal
  2. Elementary Problems in Organic Chemistry – M.S. Chouhan
  3. Problems in Physical Chemistry – Narendra Awasthi

Try to solve and practise the problems questions given in these books in between your study time.

According to NEET 2021 statistics, 15,44,275 students appeared for the exam out of which 8,70,075 got qualified. This makes the approximate qualification rate 56%. Also, as per NTA (National Testing Agency), students can appear in NEET as many times as they want. Thus, stay positive and work hard till you reach your goals.
