About
NEET is a national level entrance exam for students willing to pursue medical and dental courses in India. This test was previously called as AIPMT. The government along with the Supreme Court passed the decision of replacing all the state PMT exams with NEET in the year 2016.
2017 onward none of the states will have their own entrance exams and all the students will prepare and apply for NEET. This has brought all the colleges under the purview of one single exam which means there will be an increased number of seats. However, this also means that the students would be competing on a pan India level hence its more challenging.
NEET 2016 was conducted in 2 phases because of the decision by the Supreme Court, however, in 2017, there will only be one single exam for all aspirants. The NEET is a branch of the CBSE board and hence it is administered by them.
