Hello

Unlike MBBS , in which you have to qualify NEET UG to be able to get admission abroad for MBBS, in PG there is no requirement to qualify NEET PG first. You can directly do a PG abroad but there are a few conditions attached. MCI recognizes the PG degree from only 5 countries which are USA,UK,New Zealand, Australia and Canada. If you want to do your PG in USA you only have to give USMLE which is a Multi stage exam and requires travel to USA. Compared to it NEET PG is a single step exam (and is not that expensive) so you can give it to if you want to.

Alternatively, you can also apply for PG in UK (which is a very good option for Indians) for which you will have to give PLAB exam.
