Administered annually by the National Testing Agency (NTA), an autonomous body established by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) of the Government of India, NEET has streamlined the admission process for medical aspirants. It has replaced numerous other entrance examinations previously conducted by individual states and medical colleges.
The Indian government mandates clearing the NEET test for all individuals aspiring to pursue a career in medicine. NEET is renowned for its rigorous nature, representing one of the most challenging medical entrance exams in India.
NEET, which stands for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test, was initially introduced in May 2013 but was subsequently canceled by the Honorable Supreme Court of India. However, it was later reinstated in 2016. This standardized test serves as the primary means of qualifying for undergraduate MBBS and BDS programs in Indian medical and dental universities sanctioned by regulatory bodies like the MCI (Medical Council of India) and DCI (Dental Council of India).
NEET facilitates admission to approximately 100,000 MBBS seats, 28,000 BDS seats, and 52,000 seats in alternative medicine programs such as BAMS (Ayurveda), BHMS (Homeopathy), BUMS (Unani), and BSMS (Siddha). These seats are distributed across more than 540 medical colleges, 300 dental colleges, over 900 Ayush colleges, and more than 45 veterinary colleges.
Over the past two years, NEET has seen a significant influx of applicants, with close to 4 million students registering for the exam, of which around 3 million appeared, resulting in approximately 1 million successful qualifiers.
To qualify for the NEET exam, candidates must adhere to the following eligibility criteria:
The NEET exam has a duration of 200 minutes and consists of 200 questions, although candidates are required to answer only 180 questions. PwD (Persons with Disabilities) candidates are allotted an additional 65 minutes for the exam.
The exam is conducted in an offline mode, utilizing a pen-and-paper format, at specified test centers. The question paper exclusively comprises multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and does not include any descriptive-type questions. Each correct answer carries 4 marks.
In section B of the NEET exam, candidates are presented with 15 questions, out of which they can choose to attempt any 10 questions. However, if a candidate attempts more than 10 questions in section B, only the first 10 attempted questions will be considered for evaluation.

NEET is available in 13 languages, namely English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, Odia, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, and Punjabi. In instances where there is any ambiguity in the translation of a question during the test, the English version of the question will be considered final. The decision of the NTA regarding such matters is deemed final.
Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), Overseas Citizens of India (OCI), and Foreign Nationals are eligible for admission to Medical/Dental Colleges subject to the rules and regulations established by the respective State Governments, Institutions, and the Government of India, as applicable.
