Topic-wise NEET Biology Weightage & Strategy 2025: Chapter List, Tips & Tricks

 

Introduction

NEET Biology accounts for 50% of the paper (90 questions), and with NCERT-based questions dominating the section, it becomes the most scoring subject if prepared smartly. In this post, we’ll cover chapter-wise NEET Biology weightage for 2025, plus the best tips to crack it.

NEET Biology Syllabus Overview

  • Total Questions: 90

  • Marks: 360 out of 720

  • Divided equally from Class 11 and Class 12

  • Based on NCERT Biology Books (100% questions are directly or indirectly from it)


📘 Class 11 Biology Chapter-wise Weightage

Chapter Expected No. of Questions Weightage (%)
Diversity of Living Organisms 5–6 ~12%
Structural Organisation in Animals & Plants 3–4 ~6%
Cell Structure and Function 5–6 ~10%
Plant Physiology 4–5 ~8%
Human Physiology 10–12 ~20%


📗 Class 12 Biology Chapter-wise Weightage

Chapter Expected No. of Questions Weightage (%)
Reproduction (Plant & Human) 5–6 ~10%
Genetics & Evolution 6–8 ~15%
Biology in Human Welfare 1–2 ~2%
Biotechnology 3–4 ~5%
Ecology & Environment 6–8 ~12%

( Weightage varies slightly each year but patterns stay similar. Focus more on chapters with high yield like Human Physiology, Genetics, and Ecology.)






Top High-Weightage Topics (Must-Revise First)

  1. Human Physiology

  2. Genetics & Molecular Basis of Inheritance

  3. Ecology

  4. Cell Cycle and Structure

  5. Plant Physiology (Photosynthesis & Transport)

  6. Reproductive Health

  7. Biotechnology Principles and Processes

Smart Preparation Strategy for NEET 2025 Biology

1.  Stick to NCERT

  • Read every line of NCERT. Diagram labels are often asked directly.

2. Make Short Notes

  • Prepare crisp notes of each chapter. Write down facts, terms, and examples.

3.  Revise with MCQs

  • Use previous year NEET papers, NCERT-based MCQ books (like MTG or Trueman’s).

4.  Solve Chapter-Wise Tests

  • Use platforms like Embibe, Unacademy, or Allen Test Series.

5.  Follow a Time-Table

  • Dedicate 2 hours daily for Biology if you’re also studying Physics/Chem.

6.  Revise Weekly

  • Sunday = quick revision + test of all biology studied that week.

Conclusion

If you approach NEET Biology with topic-wise planning, mastering NCERT, and consistent practice, you can easily score 300+ in Biology alone. Start with high-weightage chapters and stay regular with your revision.

Sycon Canal System With Diagram

                                     Canal system in Sycon  A sea creature called a sycon, or scypha , is usually found clinging to rocks or other surfaces. These creatures have tube-shaped bodies that open outward with the help of a hole called an Osculum . They have tiny openings called Spiracles and Ostia all over their bodies to let water in. This water flows through canals inside their bodies and comes out through the Osculum, which is a larger opening used for breathing. We'll observe the shape of this canal system, why it is essential for those animals, type of canal system , and  its significance. The Sycon Type Canal system is the unique feature of the phylum Porifera . This system is also known as the  aquiferous canal system . This system supports the significant function of the body like nutrition, respiration, excretion, etc. History Overview -  Gran...

Whittaker's Five Kingdom Classification | Biology Blog

                                   Five Kingdom Classification Early biologists classified all species as either plants or animals. Since this method makes it difficult to research specific creatures, American taxonomist R.H. Whittaker created the five-kingdom classification in 1969. This system divides all organisms into groups based on how they are organized and how they are fed. Important standards for this classification include - The complexity of cell structure i.e. Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic. The complexity of the Organisms body is Unicellular and Multicellular. Mode of nutrition Autotrophs and Heterotrophs. Lifestyle. Phylogenetic Relationship. Based on these criteria, Whittaker classified the living world into the following categories  - Kingdom Monera                 Kingdom Protista Kingdom Fungi Kingdom Animalia Ki...

Aurelia Aurita Life Cycle: Characterstics, Classification

                                             Aurelia  Aurelia aurita is a type of zooplankton found all over the world. They are see-through and don't have eyes, brains, or hearts. They're usually between 2 to 15 inches wide. Even though they prefer being alone, they get carried together in groups called Blooms by wind and water currents. At night, they look like they're moving through the water like jellyfish, which is why they're sometimes called " jellyfish ".  They have four reproductive organs surrounded by tentacles in their top part. Their body color changes based on what they eat, so they can be blue, pink, or other colors. Let's learn more about Aurelia in detail. Details Of Aurelia Diagram -  Body : The center of the diagram would display the jellyfish's bell-shaped body, often called the " umbrella. " Tentacles : Below the bell, you'd see lon...
