NEET, formerly known as AIPMT, is the mandatory entrance exam for students seeking admission into MBBS and BDS programs in medical and dental colleges across India. This test is also crucial for students aspiring to pursue MBBS abroad.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is responsible for conducting this examination. Previously, CBSE was in charge of administering the test, but now NTA, an independent autonomous and self-sufficient premier testing organization, conducts it.
The exam offers 90,000 seats in various MBBS and BDS colleges across India and is typically held in May each year. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it will be conducted in September.
