Is Neet UG the only way to go for MBBS ?

Hello aspirant,

Bachelor of Medicine is the full name for MBBS in medicine. A 5.5-year undergraduate medical degree program called the Bachelor of Surgery teaches students how to diagnose conditions, identify treatments and medications, and execute procedures.
The only path to enrollment in MBBS programs at various Indian medical colleges is passing the NEET UG exam.

Thank you

Hope it helps you

Hello,

In India, the most common entrance exam to get into medical colleges offering MBBS and BDS courses is NEET UG- National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Undergraduate. However there are a few extra options and considerations:

• Entrance exams at State Level: Some states conduct medical admission exams at the state level, but most of those also accept NEET. Therefore, one needs to check the specific requirement of each state.
• Management Quota Seats: To some extent, all private medical colleges admit students under the management quota where admissions are done based on different criteria followed under that quota. Donations or capitation fees prevail in a lot of places, but this year, even NEET scores would play a role.
• Foreign Medical Universities: If you are willing to study overseas, some countries offer MBBS programmes without requiring NEET. But it depends upon the recognition of that degree in India and if you meet the required criteria for the same in India, after your graduation.
• Other Courses: If you would like to have a career in health but not specifically an MBBS, then you can join BDS (Dentistry), BAMS (Ayurveda), BHMS (Homeopathy), BPT (Physiotherapy), or any one of the nursing streams, each of which has its own entrance exams.
• Professional Paths: Lateral entry or bridge courses are allowed to pursue a medical degree after completion of an undergraduate-related program in some countries or institutes.

Overall, NEET UG is the most common and widely recognized path for pursuing MBBS in India. Alternately, one may look into the other options depending upon the goal and flexibility of individuals.
