NEET is the National Eligibility and Entrance Test conducted by the Indian Medical Council for admissions to graduate and postgraduate medical courses like MBBS, BDS, MD and MS. It was established in 2012 as a single entrance exam to replace multiple entrance exams conducted by individual states and institutions. Some advantages of NEET include students only having to write one exam, saving time and reducing confusion. It also aims to reduce corruption and admit more talented students. However, critics argue NEET favors urban and rich students as it requires training in coaching institutes. The syllabus is also based on CBSE curriculum which disadvantages students from some states. Students looking to study medicine abroad should consult education consultants for guidance on admissions and exams.
