In recent years, more than 20 lakh students have taken the NEET, but only a small percentage achieve a good rank. What distinguishes these students is that they study intelligently rather than exhaustively. The 12 Physics chapters you can skip and still score 120+ in NEET are based on the same strategy: focus on high-weightage and scoring chapters rather than trying to cover the entire syllabus under pressure.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has activated the NEET UG 2026 application form link on the official website. Students can register themselves at neet.nta.nic.in.

As the exam approaches, stress and revision load increase, and physics often feels like the biggest hurdle for NEET exam aspirants. However, scoring 120+ marks in NEET Physics is still possible without completing every chapter. A safe-zone strategy is what students need at this stage- prioritising chapters that fetch maximum marks and avoiding low-weightage, time-consuming topics. This approach helps reduce anxiety, boosts confidence, and allows aspirants to prepare smarter, not harder.
Most students think that it is important to study every chapter to score well. But the truth is, NEET physics syllabus completion does not help you score marks, but smart study does. Every year, around 70-80% of Physics marks come from a predictable set of chapters. Identifying low-weightage chapters means more study hours and more time for revision.

This strategy does not mean skipping chapters blindly but intelligently. It has two major benefits:
Strengthen chapters that actually carry marks.
Eliminate stress from topics that bring minimal marks.
Here is a list of chapters that you can skip for the NEET exam, as they carry only 18-20% of the syllabus. Based on the past 5 years' NEET weightage analysis, these chapters are time-consuming, but hardly 1-2 questions are asked from these topics.
Chapter Name | Weightage % |
|---|---|
Waves | 0.84% |
Thermal Properties of Matter | 0.84% |
Mechanical Properties of Solids | 1.26% |
Kinetic Theory | 1.67% |
Motion in a Plane | 1.67% |
Magnetism and Matter | 2.09% |
Atoms | 2.09% |
Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation | 2.51% |
Mechanical Properties of Fluids | 2.51% |
Wave Optics | 2.51% |
System of Particles and Rotational Motion | 2.93% |
Electromagnetic Induction | 2.93% |
The table below includes a list of chapters that will cover 70-80% of the total syllabus and help you score 120+ marks in NEET Physics. It also covers the frequently asked concepts from each chapter.
| Chapter | Frequently Asked Concepts | Weightage % |
|---|---|---|

During the last months, the approach has needed a little modification. With smart study, scoring in physics becomes easier. Here is a list of smart NEET preparation tips that will help students excel in the exam:
The 60–20–20 rule means that:
60% time for high-weightage chapters
20% time for NEET PYQs
20% time for Mock test mistake revision
Every NEET question comes directly or indirectly from the NCERT textbooks. Do not switch resources now; one good question bank is enough to practice important NEET physics numerical questions.
The more you practice NEET 2026 MCQs, the more you understand the types of questions and how to attempt them quickly. This builds speed and confidence during exams.
Note down all the NEET physics formulas in a notebook and revise them regularly, at least once every 2-3 days, to strengthen your memory.
NEET repeats patterns every year. Solve the last 8-10 years of NEET physics previous year questions to understand the pattern and frequently asked concepts and chapters.
Starting anything new now will not help you score marks. This will only take up your mental space, less time for revision, and ultimately, you will lose confidence.
It is very important to stay calm during the final months and stay focused on the original plan rather than starting anything new. Here is how to avoid common mistakes in the final month:
Do not postpone your weak topics. Pick 2-3 important but weak chapters and revise them regularly.
In Physics, reading is not enough. After every chapter, solve 30-40 MCQs for conceptual clarity.
Start NEET PYQs right away, it shows the exact exam pattern. Solve 2-3 papers every week.
Practice under time pressure to improve your speed and confidence.
Do not practice JEE-level problems. Stick to NCERT-level and NEET PYQs.
If a numerical takes more than a minute, skip and return later. Do not get demotivated or lose your calm.
