NEET vs Bihar BCECE: Important Points
NEET vs Bihar BCECE: The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG) has replaced all the pre-medical exams conducted by different states and medical colleges. The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts the NEET for granting admission to medical UG seats in India. It is a national pre-medical entrance exam for candidates who wish to pursue (MBBS), dental (BDS) and AYUSH courses in government and private institutions in India.
On the contrary, the BCECE or Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination is conducted for admission to B.Pharma, Agriculture, and para-medical courses (such as Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, etc.) offered at colleges in Bihar. However, BCEBEB now offers admission to engineering courses based on JEE Main scores and medical courses based on NEET scores. Read the article to know the differences between the NEET and the Bihar BCECE.

These were the differences between NEET and Bihar BCECE exam 2022. However, the NEET exam is considered the toughest exam in India because it is highly competitive, and the number of seats is also limited. Bihar BCECE 2022 is limited to the state, so the competition is much more restricted. For NEET, additional skills are required; hence, you have to put extra effort.
Since we are comparing the state exams with national exams, the need to change the syllabus and coaching classes becomes important. There is no significant difference between the two syllabi; hence, there is no need to change your coaching class per se. But it is important that you change your study books and create a study plan accordingly.
Also, if you feel that your current classes do not comprehensively assist you with the required resources to score well, then it is advisable to change them. The best advice is to try to attend a demo lecture, understand the level at which they will operate, and accordingly make a decision.
