NEET (National eligibility cum entrance test) which is the common entrance examination for admission in Medical, Dental, Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Veterinary, Nursing etc. courses in India. Previously this exam was conducted by CBSE. But from the year 2019 NTA (National Testing Agency) an organization was formed by the Indian Government to manage and conduct most of the India's national level entrance examinations like NEET, CUET, JEE MAINS, UGC NET etc. Since then NEET is being conducted every year by NTA.
As the governing authority of the examination has changed, the question pattern has also changed drastically over the period. When the exam used to be conducted by CBSE the paper difficulty was in moderate to difficult level. But NTA decreased the paper difficulty significantly to make the paper more generalized. And in the meantime the syllabus of NEET is changed several number of times.
According to some of the popular NEET educators, the paper difficulty of NEET 2021 was bit high as compared to other years since NTA is conducting the examination. So if you are someone who is going to appear for the Re-NEET examination that is going to held on 21st June then you should look after the difference between NEET 2021 chemistry-class 11 syllabus and NEET 2026 chemistry syllabus that is given below.
