NEET 2019 – Eligibility, Syllabus, Application Form, Cut Off And More

About

NEET is a national level entrance exam for students willing to pursue medical and dental courses in India. This test was previously called All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT). In 2016, the government, along with the Supreme Court, passed the decision of replacing all the state PMT exams with NEET.

2016 onward, none of the states have their own medical entrance exams and all the students prepare and apply for NEET. This has brought all the colleges under the purview of one single exam which means there has been an increased number of seats. However, this also means that the students are now competing on a pan India level, thereby, making the exam more competitive.

NEET was previously conducted by CBSE and from 2019 onwards National testing Agency (NTA) will be conducting NEET. However, the responsibility of NTA is limited to conduction of the entrance test, declaration of result and providing All India Rank to the concerned authorities.
