NEET Exam for UG Medical Admissions

Advertisements

Medical Council of India has come to a decision for conducting a new All India Level Common Entrance Examination for admission of students to the UG Medical Courses from the year 2013 and this examination is called as NEET-UG, which means National Eligibility Entrance Test. For finalization of syllabus for this examination, MCI previously released common core syllabus and invited responses from people about the syllabus. Based on the responses a final syllabus has also been introduced by the council.

Eligibility Criteria to apply for NEET-UG Exam:

For applying to this examination candidates must meet the following eligibility requirements:

Must have completed their class 12 examination by securing not less than 50% of marks if they belong to general category and for candidates belonging to reserved category, the required qualifying percentage of marks is 40%

Qualifying marks should have been obtained by candidates as an aggregate in biology, chemistry and physics subject from a recognized board of education.

Candidates must have secured above 70% of marks in biology alone at the 12th standard examination

The minimum age limit to apply is 18 and maximum limit is 28 years

Syllabus for NEET-UG Examination:

The question paper for NEET-UG exam will have 180 questions with 45 questions each from Botany, Zoology, Physics and Chemistry subjects. Duration of the examination will be three hours. After review of different state class XI and XII syllabi of physics, biology and botany subjects and in consultation with CBSE and NCERT, a final list of chapters has been prepared by MCI for NEET-UG examination as given below:

AIPMT and NEET-UG:

Until the academic year beginning from 2011, AIPMT examination of CBSE was followed as the mode of selection of candidates for the MBBS and BDS courses offered by Medical colleges in India. MCI announced its decision to conduct NEET examination for admission of students to the UG Medical course for the academic year 2012 and this created confusion among students as to whether to prepare for AIPMT or NEET-UG examination. However, since the Supreme Court issued an order to defer NEET UG Examination for one year, for the year 2012 also AIPMT score will be followed as the criteria for selection of candidates. Therefore, it is believed that NEET will come into picture from 2013.

Need for National Eligibility Entrance Examination (NEET-UG):

MCI is planning to introduce NEET examination since it feels that a common entrance examination at all India level is essential for:

Ensuring uniform admission procedure all over the country for MBBS

For setting of minimum standards for admission to MBBS course

For saving of resources

To curb malpractices in the process of admission
