About NEET

The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test or NEET-UG is a entrance examination in

India, for students who wish to study any graduate medical course (MBBS), dental
course (BDS) in government or private medical colleges in India. NEET-UG
(Undergraduate), for MBBS and BDS courses, will be conducted by the Central Board
of Secondary Education (CBSE).
NEET-UG replaced the All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT) and all individual MBBS
exams conducted by states or colleges themselves.

IMPORTANCE OF NEET
NEET is introduced to create an umbrella or single entrance exam for all medical
aspirants in India.
Out of 25 different Medical Entrance Examinations in India, on an average, a
student appears in 7-9 entrance exams, thereby causing unnecessary stress on them
as well as on parents.
Giving so many exams creates lot of financial burden for the parents since each
examination involves expenses like Application Fee & commuting to appear for the
entrance test in various cities / at various test centers.
Multiple exams also pose the challenge of preparing for different syllabi and
patterns for students which further increase stress among students.
NEET is introduced to avoid unnecessary wastage of time, effort, money & stress.

HISTORY OF NEET
Initially NEET was proposed in year 2012.
But Supreme Court cancelled the NEET exam on 18th July 2013.
On 4th May 2014, CBSE planned to re-conduct AIPMT.
NEET, was declared illegal and unconstitutional by Supreme Court of India in 2013.
However, it was restored on April 11, 2016.

The Supreme Court in May 2016 again gave the green signal for the CBSE to hold
National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) 2016-17 in two phases. First phase was held
on 1 st May 2016 and 2 nd phase on 24 th July 2016.
