Hello Greetings

CUET UG exam is indeed a gateway to various medical courses in India, but the scope of merit-based admission in South India is limited. While CUET scores are accepted by several universities across India, including some in South India, the majority of medical colleges in South India admit students through NEET scores .


However, there are a few universities in South India that accept CUET scores for certain medical courses. For instance, some private universities like *Galgotias University* and *Ponnaiyan Ramajayam Institute of Science and Technology (PRIST)* offer medical courses like B Pharma, BPT, and B Sc Nursing through CUET scores .


To explore more options, here are some top medical colleges in India that accept CUET scores:


- *Jamia Millia Islamia* (New Delhi)

- *Jawaharlal Nehru University* (New Delhi)

- *Lovely Professional University* (Jalandhar)

- *Teerthanker Mahaveer University* (Moradabad)

- *Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University* (New Delhi)


Keep in mind that admission processes and accepted entrance exams may vary across institutions. It's essential to research and verify the admission criteria for each university and course you're interested in .

Have a great day

Hello,

No, the CUET (Common University Entrance Test) UG exam is not used for admission to medical courses through merit in South India. Here's why:

  • CUET Purpose : CUET is primarily for undergraduate admissions to central and participating universities in non-medical disciplines.
  • Medical Admissions : Admission to medical courses (MBBS, BDS) is based on NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test).
  • Eligibility Criteria : Medical colleges across India, including South India, accept NEET scores for merit-based admission.
  • Institutions : CUET does not apply to medical colleges like AIIMS, JIPMER, or state-level medical colleges in South India.

For medical admissions , focus on NEET.

Hope it helps !
