Students have to clear NEET to study medicine abroad

OUR BUREAUUpdated onFebruary 14, 2018





Amended rules from May



Indian students who want to study medicine in a foreign country will now have to compulsorily qualify the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET).

Indian citizens/overseas citizen of India intending to obtain primary medical qualification from any medical institution outside India, on or after May 2018, shall have to mandatorily qualify the NEET for admission to MBBS course abroad, according to a Health Ministry release issued on Tuesday.

So far only students who wished to study MBBS in India had to clear the common NEET.

It has come to notice that medical institutions/universities of foreign countries admit Indian students without proper assessment or screening of the students academic ability to cope up with medical education with the result that many students fail to qualify the screening test, the release added.

The Medical Council of India had thus proposed to the Health Ministry that the Screening Test Regulations, 2002, should be amended making it mandatory for candidates to qualify NEET to pursue foreign medical course that have been approved by the ministry.


Since this is gonna be the first year we can't say how much marks will be needed. It will also depend on the country and university you select.
