Entrance tests for undergraduate and postgraduate medical / allied health programmes.
Medical entrance exams are the single path to a career in modern medicine in India. NEET UG is the common undergraduate entrance for MBBS, BDS, AYUSH and veterinary admissions across all Indian medical colleges. NEET PG and INI-CET govern postgraduate specialisation, with INI-CET specifically for the Institutes of National Importance (AIIMS, JIPMER, PGIMER, NIMHANS).

NEET UG is almost entirely NCERT-based — master Classes 11 and 12 NCERT Biology line by line before touching any other reference book.
Physics is the differentiator in NEET UG — most aspirants score well in Bio but stumble in Physics; allocate 40% of prep time here.
Solve previous 20 years' NEET/AIPMT papers chapter-wise; question patterns in Biology especially repeat with only minor rewording.
For NEET PG and INI-CET, prioritise clinical subjects (Medicine, Surgery, OBGYN, Paediatrics) which together carry 35-40% of questions.
Take a full-length mock under real conditions (3 hours 20 minutes, no breaks) every 10 days in the last 2 months — stamina and bladder management are real factors.
Minimum age is 17 years as of December 31 of the admission year. There is no upper age limit currently (the earlier cap of 25 years was struck down and NMC has not reinstated it).
There is no cap on the number of attempts for NEET UG. Candidates can appear as many times as they wish subject to the minimum age requirement.
Yes. NEET UG is conducted in 13 languages — English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. You choose your medium at registration and it cannot be changed later.
NEET UG deducts 1 mark for each wrong answer from a total of 4 marks per correct answer. NEET PG follows a similar 4:-1 ratio. Unattempted questions carry no penalty.
NEET PG is the common entrance for MD/MS admissions across most Indian medical colleges. INI-CET is a separate entrance conducted by AIIMS for admission to the Institutes of National Importance (AIIMS, JIPMER, PGIMER, NIMHANS, SCTIMST).
