The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2017 is one of the most crucial competitive exams of the year. May 7 is the date that it is held this year and lakhs of students have registered to appear in it. What makes it so competitive is because, since 2016, it is the single entrance exam for medical. The government had taken this decision along with the Supreme Court in its move to bring all medical colleges of the country under the ambit of one single entrance exam. Its first move, therefore, was to replace all state PMTs with one common medical entrance exam, that is, NEET. Although this move by the government has resulted in an increased number of seats, it has also resulted in a stiffer competition as the students will now be competing on a pan India level.
In 2016, NEET was held in two phases following the government’s decision bu this year, it will only be held in one single phase, that is, on May 7. Many students are intimidated by this exam, particularly after the previous year’s changes. In this post, we aim to help students like you who are preparing for this exam to crack it and get into some of the top medical colleges in the country.
NEET is conducted by the Central Board of School Education (CBSE) which is why the syllabus is inclusive of the CBSE 11th and 12th class syllabi.

Besides, CBSE tends to stick to a particular style and pattern when it comes to setting question papers and marking scheme.
