<p>The National Medical Commission (NMC) revised the NEET syllabus in 2024. In the Biology, chapters were removed in around six units. The table brings the list of chapters and topics along with the units, which were removed in the NEET syllabus.&nbsp;</p><table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><th valign="top" width="312"><p>Units</p></th><th valign="top" width="312"><p>Chapters/Topics</p></th></tr><tr><td valign="top" width="312"><p>Structural Organisation in Animals and Plants</p></td><td valign="top" width="312"><p>Animal tissues; Morphology, anatomy and functions of different systems (digestive, circulatory, respiratory, nervous and reproductive) of an insect (Frog).
