What is NEET?

What is NEET?

NEET is the abbreviation for The National Eligibility Entrance Test which is the qualifying test for MBBS and BDS Programmes in Indian Medical and Dental Colleges. Conducted and looked over by the National Testing Agency, this test was formerly called the All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT). To conclude NEET is the gateway to entering the field of Medical Sciences and a good NEET Score is one to getting admission to a good medical school/college.

Modifications in requirements and its Impact.

Earlier, students willing to study BDS abroad were not obligated to sit in the NEET Examinations as some medical schools/colleges/universities granted admissions that were not based on NEET Scores. A student who aspired to study BDS from an Indian college was supposed to take a NEET Examination compulsorily.

But, as per the notice of the Dental Council of India, rolled out on September 5th, 2018, the eligibility criteria to pursue undergraduate dental courses abroad were made stringent by making NEET a compulsory test that had to be taken if a student were to become eligible to obtain “Eligibility Certificate” from the Dental Council of India (DCI) and practice dentistry.
