2020(Updated)

The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test or NEET-UG is an entrance examination in India, for students who wish to study any graduate medical course (MBBS), dental course (BDS) in government or private medical colleges in India. NEET-UG (Undergraduate), for MBBS and BDS courses, will be conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).

NEET-UG replaced the All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT) and all individual MBBS exams conducted by states or colleges themselves.

IMPORTANCE OF NEET

NEET is introduced to create an umbrella or single entrance exam for all medical aspirants in India and to avoid unnecessary wastage of time, effort, money & stress. For e.g- Out of 25 different Medical Entrance Examinations in India, on an average, a student appears in 7-9 entrance exams, thereby causing unnecessary stress on them as well as on parents

Giving so many exams creates a lot of financial burden for the parents since each examination involves expenses like Application Fee & commuting to appear for the entrance test in various cities / at various test centers. Multiple exams also pose the challenge of preparing for different syllabi and patterns for students which further increase stress among students.
