NEET is the national entrance for medical courses where as IIT JEE is the entrance examination for varied courses in engineering at IIT's and NIT's (for IIT JEE you have to qualify JEE MAINS).

For NEET you have to give three papers namely Physics, Chemistry and Biology. The exam is of MCQ type and is one of the tough exams in India. To be eligible for NEET you need to score at least 50% marks in 10+2 (additional 5% less for the reserved candidates).
