Hi.



There is no NEET required for this. To practise as an optometrist, it is essential to possess a Bachelors degree in Optometry (B.Optom). This is a four-year course in which the first three years of learning is followed by a year of internship to gain clinical experience. To apply for the B.Optom course, a student should have passed the HSC (10+2) course with a minimum 50 percent marks in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Prior to seeking admission, students have to appear for the EYECET examination which is a centralised common entrance test to determine the applicants aptitude for pursuing a course in optometry. Many institutes including All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) conduct an entrance test for the admission to its BSc programme in Ophthalmic Technology.



Hope it helps.

No. EYECET is the NEET equivalent examination which is a centralised common entrance exam for B. Optom admissions.
