The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is the primary gateway for students aspiring to pursue undergraduate medical courses in India. Administered by the National Testing Agency (NTA), NEET is essential for admission to MBBS, BDS, and other allied medical courses in Indian medical and dental colleges, including those run with the approval of the Medical Council of India and the Dental Council of India. The exam is held once a year and is open to both Indian and international candidates.
NEET's format consists of a single paper containing 180 multiple-choice questions covering physics, chemistry, and biology (botany and zoology). The questions are derived from the NCERT syllabus used in Indian schools up to grade 12. The exam is conducted in several languages, including English, Hindi, and other regional languages, making it accessible to a diverse range of students across the country.
Scoring high in NEET is critical, as it determines not only admission to top medical colleges but also eligibility for various quotas and scholarships. Over the years, NEET has become highly competitive, with millions of students appearing each year, reflecting its significance in shaping the careers of future medical professionals in India.
