As of today, February 1, 2024, there are no other entrance exams for MBBS in India besides NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) . This applies to both government and private medical colleges.

Previously, there were other exams like AIIMS and JIPMER, but since 2021, NEET has become the sole entrance exam for MBBS across the country . This was done to streamline the admission process and ensure uniformity.

While NEET is the only gateway to MBBS in India, there are a few exceptions to keep in mind:

  • AIIMS and JIPMER: While these institutes use NEET scores for their MBBS programs, they also conduct their own entrance exams for additional seats. However, these exams are only open to candidates who have qualified in NEET.
  • AFMC (Armed Forces Medical College): This college conducts a separate entrance exam for admission to its MBBS program, but only for children of armed forces personnel.
  • Studying MBBS abroad: If you're considering studying MBBS abroad, the entrance exam requirements will vary depending on the country and university. Some countries accept NEET scores, while others require their own entrance tests.

It's important to stay updated on any changes to the admission process, so I recommend checking the official websites of the relevant authorities for the latest information.
