What is National Eligibility and Entrance Test NEET
The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), previously known as All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) is an entrance examination in India for students who wish to study graduate and postgraduate medical courses (MBBS, MD, MS) and dental courses (BDS, MDS) in government or private medical colleges and dental colleges
Key points about NEET:
Purpose: It's a common entrance exam for medical colleges across India, including government and private institutions.
Eligibility: Candidates must have completed their Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as compulsory subjects.
Exam Format: NEET is a pen-and-paper based exam with questions from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
Importance: Qualifying NEET is mandatory for admission to medical colleges in India and is also accepted by many foreign medical universities.
Exam pattern and structure
The NEET exam is a pen-and-paper based test conducted in English, Hindi, or any of the 13 regional languages. Here's a breakdown of the exam pattern:
