Yes it is included.
The syllabus is full NCERT based. Please go through your NCERT books of class 11th & 12th thoroughly.

hi aahan, in AIPMT, all three were stressed equally, but with neet , the official syllabus would be cockroach
Structural Organisation in Animals and Plants
Morphology and modifications; Tissues; Anatomy and functions of different parts of flowering plants: Root, stem, leaf, inflorescence- cymose and recemose, flower, fruit and seed (To be dealt along with the relevant practical of the Practical Syllabus). Animal tissues; Morphology, anatomy and functions of different systems (digestive, circulatory, respiratory, nervous and reproductive) of an insect (cockroach). (Brief account only)
Cockroach and earthworm are important for dissection. Frog isn't put for dissemination just know the theory related to frog.
Goodluck!
Hope this helps.
Hi Aahaan Singh,
Cockroach and Earthworm both are the point to study for NEET and majorly Earthworm is asked in nEET as per the trend. A basic exact knowledge for the above topics are the primary requirement for answering the questions from these topics in both NEET and AIIMS. In JIPMER too, some questions are asked from these topic.
So, whatever you study from these topics, study correctly and without any confusion. Avoid doing silly mistakes so that you can score more than you deserve.
All the best
In 2016 when I wrote Neet, Earthworm was the topic in NCERT
In 2018,it is given cockroach in the official Neet 2018 website

But to be on the safer side, you must at least know the general characteristics of the particular class arthropoda, annelida, amphibia
Importance
Cockroach >Earthworm >Frog
Good luck

When I wrote the examination in 2013 I remember studying both cockroach and earthworm.
According to the latest guidelines earth worm is the one I think you need to lay more stress on.
But I would recommend that you go to the exam hall with a basic concept of all the three kingdoms, that is Annelida ,Arthropoda and amphibia
Of course needless to say the more Complex organism the lesser stress you need to give up on it.
So most important I think for you would be earthworm, then go for cockroach, and lastly go for frog.
Hope this helps, thank you
