Syllabus Streamlining
A notable adjustment for NEET 2024 is the reduction of the syllabus.

The streamlined syllabus now comprises 28 chapters in Physics, 26 in Chemistry, and 25 in Biology. This reduction aims to alleviate the academic load on students, enabling a more focused study approach. By honing in on fundamental concepts, the NMC ensures that the syllabus remains rigorous yet manageable, fostering a deeper understanding and application of medical sciences.
Expansion of Global Test Centers
In parallel with syllabus modifications, NEET 2024 will also introduce new test centers abroad, enhancing the exam's accessibility for international students and Indian students living overseas. With centers in key locations such as Kuwait, UAE, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Qatar, Nepal, Malaysia, Nigeria, Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore, NEET's global reach is significantly broadened. This expansion not only facilitates logistical convenience for students outside India but also reflects India's commitment to attracting a diverse pool of medical talent.
The NEET UG 2024 exam will include overseas exam centers in 14 cities across various countries. These international cities are:
- Kuwait City (Kuwait)
- Dubai (United Arab Emirates)
- Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates)
- Bangkok (Thailand)

- Kathmandu (Nepal)
- Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)
- Lagos (Nigeria)

This expansion to include 14 overseas exam centers allows candidates outside India to conveniently access NEET UG 2024 examination centers in their or nearby countries. It's important for candidates who initially selected centers in India but wish to change to foreign cities to utilize the application form correction facility once it becomes available. Moreover, for new registrations from foreign countries, candidates can directly select their preferred country and city during the application process.
The NMC has also added a new section on ethics, integrity, and aptitude in medical practice to the NEET 2024 Exam. This component assesses candidates' knowledge of medical ethics, communication skills, and professional conduct.
