NEET UG 2024 SYLLABUS UPDATED: HERE'S WHAT CHANGED IN PHYSICS

Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) of the National Medical Commission (NMC) has released syllabus of NEET UG 2024 on Saturday, and there are few changes in the syllabus. Here's what changed in Physics:

In Physics, there's quite a shake-up. Several topics from various chapters have been eliminated. Let's delve into which specific topics have been removed.

From Unit 1 "Physics and Measurement", "Physics technology and Society," "Length, Mass and Time Measurement" topics have been removed. From Unit 2, "Kinematics", "Elementary Concepts of Differentiation" and "Integration for Describing Motion" have been removed.

From Unit 3, "Laws of Motion," lubrication has been cut. In Unit 7 "Properties of Solids and Liquids", some important topics have been removed, which include:

Poisson’s ratio, elastic energy, Reynold’s number, Qualitative ideas of black body radiation, Wein’s displacement law and greenhouse effect, Newton’s law of cooling and Stefan’s law. Heat engines and refrigerators have been removed from unit 8 Thermodynamics

From Unit 10 "Asalation and Waves": "Free Forces and Damped Oscillations" (qualitative ideas only), "Resonance, Doppler Effect" have been removed. In Unit 11 "Electrostatics," the topics "Free Charges and Bound Charges" inside a "Conductor and Van de Graaff Generator" have been removed.

In Current Electricity Unit 12, many topics have been removed. They include: Carbon resistors, color code for Carbon Resistors, potentiometer- principles and applications to measure potential difference and for comparing EMF of two cells, measurement of internal resistance of a cell.

From Unit 13 Magnetic Effects of Current and Magnetism. The following topics have been axed Oersted’s experiment, Cyclotron, Magnetic Dipole moment of a revolving electron, Electromagnetic and factors affecting their strengths, permanent magnets. Delving into Optics, you will no longer have to grapple with concepts like dispersion of light through a prism, Scattering of light-blue colour of the sky and reddish appearance of the sun at sunrise and sunset.

Additionally, the intricate details of optical instruments- human eye, image formation, and accommodation. The correction of eye defects- myopia and hypermetropia using lenses and Resolving power of microscope and astronomical telescopes have also been removed.

From the unit Atoms and Nuclei- Isotopes, isobars, isotones, Radioactivity- alpha, beta and gamma particles/rays and their properties along with decay law has been removed. In the final unit on Electronic Devices, topics such as the Junction transistor, transistor action, characteristics of transistor, transistor as an amplifier (Common emitter configuration) and oscillator. Transistor as a switch have been removed.

Addition: Experimental Skills such as Vernier Calipers, screw gauge etc which are a part of the Physics Practical exam have been included in a separate unit called Experimental skills.
