NEET 2027 · built from 1,875 past questions
A NEET study plan for droppers and repeaters
A 44-week repeat year at 8 hours a day schedules 850 hours: 42% relearning and practice, the rest revision, 10 subject tests and 15 full mocks. Of the 80 chapters, Structural Organisation in Animals returns the most marks per hour (0.45), and 47 were asked in every paper from 2017 to 2026. It covers chapters worth 100% of expected marks in full, and leaves 1,614 of your 2,464 set hours free for buffer and extra practice.

How the planned hours split
358 h learn · 410 h revise · 83 h tests
Marks are expected marks next paper; full prep is the hours to prepare every chapter fully at these settings. Planned hours in the plan above, all phases. A further 83 h of full mocks, their reviews and the must-know sweep cover every subject.
Asked in every paper, 2017 to 2026
47 chaptersThe core asked every year: these chapters had at least one question in each of the 10 papers, most marks first. Across chapters, 67 of 183 topics were asked in 8 or more papers and again in 2025 or 2026; they produced 55% of the questions. The plan teaches them first and never cuts them.
