History of NEET

National Eligibility cum Entrance Test was announced to be held by the Government of India for the first time on 5th May, 2013 for admission to both Undergraduate and Postgraduate Medical courses. But on 18th July, 2013, Supreme Court cancelled the exam and announced the decision in favor of 115 petitions that MCI could not interfere with the admission process done by colleges.

The exam was scrapped in 2013 but MCI didn’t lose its efforts and achieved the success to conduct a single common medical entrance exam in 2016 across the country. In 2016, it was conducted in two phases i.e. NEET-I and NEET-II on May 1 and July 24 respectively. This exam then replaced All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) and most of the other state and national medical entrance exams of the country.
