CHECKOUT IMPORTANT DATES
The NEET PG 2026 syllabus comprehensively covers all subjects taught during the MBBS course and is structured into three main categories: Pre-clinical, Para-clinical, and Clinical subjects.
The NEET PG 2026 syllabus will be based on the MBBS curriculum stipulated by the National Medical Commission (NMC). It broadly covers the three main groups of medical subjects: pre-clinical, para-clinical, and clinical. The pre-clinical section includes Anatomy, Physiology, and Biochemistry, laying the scientific foundation of the human body and its functions.
The para-clinical subjects deepen understanding with Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Forensic Medicine, and Social and Preventive Medicine, which equip students with diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic knowledge. The clinical segment is the largest, spanning General Medicine (with Dermatology, Dermatology, Psychiatry), General Surgery (with Orthopaedics, Anaesthesia, Radiodiagnosis), Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Pediatrics, Ophthalmology, and ENT, emphasizing diagnosis and management of diseases in actual patient care settings.
Below is a detailed breakdown of the NEET PG syllabus, including key topics and subject-wise expected weightage.

Ques.1 What is the syllabus for NEET PG 2026?
Ans. The NEET PG 2026 syllabus covers the entire MBBS curriculum as prescribed by the National Medical Commission (NMC). It includes pre-clinical (Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry), para-clinical (Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Forensic Medicine, Preventive & Social Medicine), and clinical subjects (General Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Pediatrics, ENT, Ophthalmology, Orthopedics, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Radiology, Anesthesia).
Ques.2 How is the syllabus distributed among subjects in NEET PG 2026? Ans. Clinical subjects form the bulk of the exam—with about 150 out of 200 questions—focusing especially on General Medicine, General Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Pediatrics, and related areas. Pre- and para-clinical subjects comprise the remaining questions, but every subject from the MBBS curriculum is included.
Ques.3 How should I start preparing for the NEET PG 2026 syllabus?
Ans. Prioritize clinical subjects, revise standard MBBS textbooks, practice MCQs after each topic, work through previous years' papers, and focus on frequently tested and high-yield areas.
