Confirmed Syllabus for 2026.

- Physics: Several experimental skills sections have been refined. Focus on practical application questions is expected to increase.

- Biology: The syllabus remains largely unchanged, but there is a renewed emphasis on Human Physiology and Genetics.
You should download the official syllabus directly from the NTA website to ensure your study plan aligns with the 2026 pattern.
