National Eligibility and Entrance Test or NEET is the one examination which would be considered for filling about 54,000 medical seats across the country. As per the Supreme Court’s order in 2016, NEET would be the only examination to fill the All India Quota Seats as well as the State Level Quota seats across the country. The examination is also valid for filling the private college seats across the country.

Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will be conducting the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test 2018 undergraduate exam- NEET 2018 UG exam on 6th May 2018 (Sunday). Admit cards have already been released.

 Understanding the All India Quota Seats

It is important for students/ aspirants to understand the All India Seat Quotas. Understanding the quota would help when they fill the NEET 2018 Application Form.

• • There are three different kinds of seats available in all Medical Colleges across the country. In the Government Medical Colleges of the country, there is a 15 per cent All India Quota.
  • Students from any part of the country can apply for the 15 per cent seats. For instance, say one government medical college in State A has a total of 100 seats. Out of these 100,
  • 15 seats would be reserved for All India Quota. These seats are then further divided into reserved and general category.
  • 15 per cent of these seats are reserved for the SC or Scheduled Caste candidates,
  • 7.5 per cent for the ST or Scheduled Tribe Candidates and another
  • 27% for the OBC (non-creamy layer) candidates.

  NEET Syllabus

The NEET 2017 syllabus is prescribed by the Medical Council of India. The syllabus is based on Class 11th & Class 12th chapters & topics.

Point to remember

Students while filling the form would be asked to provide their preference. They can opt for both the All India Quota Seats as well as the State Level seats. The selection, however, would be based on the Merit Lists created by CBSE. CBSE would release two Merit Lists - one for the All India Rank and another for the State Level Ranks. Students would be accordingly called for counselling. Hence, students should be very clear while filling the forms for NEET 2017. Understanding how the seats would be allotted can help you decide which colleges to opt for.
