🤔 FAQs About MBBS Admissions & NEET

❓ 1. What is NEET?

NEET UG (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) is the single entrance exam for MBBS admissions across India. Your score determines eligibility for all medical colleges, including AIIMS & JIPMER seats allocated through the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) and state counselling authorities.

❓ 2. Do AIIMS & JIPMER use NEET scores?

Yes — since recent policy changes, AIIMS and JIPMER admissions for MBBS are exclusively through NEET UG ranks.

❓ 3. What NEET score is typically needed for top colleges?

There is no fixed score, but generally:

  • AIIMS/JIPMER: typically very high scores

  • Government colleges: high-to-mid NEET marks

  • Private/deemed: slightly lower but competitive

(Exact cutoffs change yearly based on NEET difficulty and seat availability.)

❓ 4. How many MBBS seats are there in India?

In 2025, India has over a hundred thousand MBBS seats across government, private, and AIIMS/JIPMER institutions.

❓ 5. What is the All India Quota (AIQ)?

15% of MBBS seats in government and central institutions (including JIPMER/AIIMS) are reserved for the All India Quota where counselling is national; the rest are state quota seats. (State regulations may vary.)

❓ 6. What documents are required for counselling?

Typically: NEET UG scorecard, identity proof, educational certificates, domicile certificate (if applying for state quota), category certificates (if applicable), and passport-size photos.
