Top Medical Colleges in India through NEET Score
The National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test, popularly known as NEET, is one of the toughest exams for PCB students. Other than the difficult syllabus, the total number of applicants is another reason why NEET is so tough. In the year 2024, more than 23 lakh students applied for the NEET exam. In a country like India, where doctors are treated are like God, no wonder why NEET has such a huge competition
But is all this hard work worth it? Do aspirants get rewards corresponding to their hard work? The answer is yes. Actually, preparation for the NEET is not just to clear the exam and get an MBBS/BDS/Ayush seat. More than that, the preparation phase is an indication that the path to becoming a doctor is not going to be a cakewalk. One has to be hardworking, dedicated, and focused on studies to become a doctor.
In the year 2024, NEET was held on 5th May and results were announced in June. The counselling date for various courses is yet to be announced by the MCC.

Medical colleges through NEET
MBBS is one of the most preferred career options for PCB students. From class 11th students opting for PCB start dreaming of becoming doctors. The result (selection in MBBS) is definitely bright; however, the path (clearing NEET) is difficult. But that doesn’t lower the morale of aspirants. Every year, the number of applicants keeps increasing. But it is not possible for everyone to grab a seat at MBBS College. Therefore, some students take admission in various other courses like BAMS, BDS, BSMS, BUMS, BHMS, BVSc, etc.
The total number of seats through NEET is distributed as follows:
- All India quota seats
- Central pool quota seats
- State government quota
- NRI/management quota in private colleges and universities
- AIIMS across India/JIPMER
Aspirants can pursue MBBS from government institutions, private institutions, or abroad. However, the number of students opting for private medical college is very less because of the high the fee.
