The NEET - UG is an entrance exam in India for students aspiring to pursue undergraduate courses in medical sciences, such as MBBS, BDS, and other medical programs. Conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), it assesses students' knowledge in subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (Botany and Zoology).
NEET UG is crucial for admission to various medical colleges across India, and it serves as a common platform for aspiring medical students, ensuring a standardized assessment process. The exam typically includes multiple-choice questions and is held once a year.
Age Limit: Candidates must be at least 17 years old as of December 31 of the year of admission. There is an upper age limit of 25 years for general candidates (30 years for reserved categories).
Educational Qualification:
Candidates must have completed Class 12 (or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology, along with English.
They should have secured a minimum of 50% marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology combined (40% for reserved categories).
Nationality: Indian citizens, Overseas Citizens of India (OCI), and non-resident Indians (NRIs) can apply.
Number of Attempts: There is no limit on the number of attempts.
Mode of Examination: Pen and paper-based test (offline).
Duration: 3 hours.
