About NEET Exam

The National Eligibility Entrance Test (Postgraduate) or NEET PG serves as a pivotal qualifying and ranking examination in India. It caters to students aspiring to pursue various postgraduate medical programs such as Doctor of Medicine (MD), Master of Surgery (MS), Diplomate of National Board (DNB) and Doctorate of National Board (a direct 6-year course in specialties like Neurosurgery, Cardiothoracic Vascular Surgery, Plastic Surgery, and Pediatric Surgery), along with diploma courses. These programs are offered by both government and private medical colleges across the country.

NEET (PG) replaced the All India Post Graduate Medical Entrance Examination (AIPGMEE) and is conducted by the National Board of Examinations (NBE). The process of counseling and seat allotment is overseen by the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS). This examination plays a crucial role in shaping the academic and professional trajectories of aspiring medical professionals in India.
