The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is India's sole medical entrance exam run by the CBSE, accepted by all medical colleges, which simplifies the admission process by consolidating it into one exam with 180 multiple-choice questions. Unlike its predecessor, AIPMT, NEET eliminates management quotas and discrepancies between state boards, leading to a more centralized and cost-effective approach for students.
