What is NEET?

NEET stands for National Eligibility cum Entrance Test. It is a single-level national exam carried out for medical aspirants enabling them to seek admission to medical courses across different medical institutes in the country. From the year 2020 onwards, the exam has emerged as the only medical entrance exam that has to be qualified to seek admission even to AIIMS and JIPMER institutes thereby scrapping the multiple entrance exams that were carried out previously at state levels.

The government of India introduced NEET as a plan to conduct one exam replacing multiple exams that were being conducted as part of the One Nation One Examination policy. NEET is an offline test carried out in a pen-paper mode, standing as the only medical entrance exam at the UG level, to be following this model.
