Hello Aspirant!
In 2016, Supreme Court passed an order stating that admission into medical colleges (private or government) can be done only via NEET UG. A candidate must qualify NEET UG to take admission into medical colleges. This rule extends for admission into foreign medical schools too. Only AIIMS and JIPMER are the two institutions that do not use NEET UG scores for admission. Rather they hold their individual entrance exams for admissions.

Hey,
Well,No.
National Eligibility cum Entrance Test(NEET),AIIMS,JIPMER are the three gateways to get into MBBS in India.
NEET must be cleared in order to study MBBS,BDS,BAMS,BHMS or any other AYUSH course in all the private as well as government  Medical colleges except AIIMS and JIPMER as they conduct their own entrance tests.
The basic eligibility criteria for NEET is to pass 12th from any recognized board with Science stream with Physics,Chemistry and Biology as main subjects having 50 percent in aggregate.
Hope this helps you.
Good luck.

Hii aspirant..

There are three ways to get admission in MBBS course in India. To get admission you need to qualify any one of these entrance exams

  • NEET
  • AIIMS entrance exam
  • Jipmer entrance exam

Other that there are many private colleges offering admission but they've keep mandatory for the students to atleast appear in the Neet exam.

But with other two entrance exam you can get seat in MBBS college without appearing in NEET exam.

Hope it helps .

Best of luck.

Hello Candidate,

NEET is compulsory for getting admission to various medical and dental colleges across India. If you want to pursue MBBS degree in India, you should get qualifying marks in NEET to be able to appear in various counselling procedures of All India Quota and state quota. Apart from NEET, AIIMS and JIPMER conduct their separate entrance exams for admission into their respective institutions. Even for getting admission into AYUSH courses like BAMS, BHMS, BHMS etc. NEET has been made compulsory. The conducting authority is National Testing Agency(NTA).

Hope this helps you.
