NEET (National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test)-UG (Under Graduate) is the national-level common MBBS entrance test, which is set to replace all individual MBBS entrance exams, which are being organized individually by each state/medical college (e.g.: AFMC, OJEE, EAMCET ETC.). NEET-UG would also replace AIPMT, which till this year was a national level medical entrance test for MBBS courses.
NEET-UG is neither the first nor the only test which is proposed to replace individual smaller entrance/recruitment test. Many other entrance as well as recruitment exams in India are going in for a single-exam-mode, replacing exams which were held separately and individually for institutes/organizations. The list is end-less and with each passing day, more and more individual exams are being combined to make a single test. For example, CBSE has also announced common engineering entrance called JEE (Join Entrance Exam combining IIT-JEE & AIEEE). Similarly IBPS CWE has replaced all bank PO/Clerk recruitment exams, which were held individually by 18 PSU banks separately. GATE, (although is an engineering entrance test for PG studies in India) is being used by prominent organizations like IOCL/NTPC/PGCIL etc. for recruitment, thus nullifying written exams which was conducted previously by these orgnisations individually.
Thus with launching of NEET-UG in 2013, students aspiring for MBBS seats would no longer have to appear in so many different medical entrance test as it was in the past. Just sit for NEET and then choose the medical college according to your merit position.
