The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET PG) is a national-level entrance examination in India conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS). It serves as the single, standardized test for medical graduates seeking admission to postgraduate medical courses such as MD (Doctor of Medicine), MS (Master of Surgery), PG Diploma, and Diplomate of National Board (DNB) programs across government and private medical colleges in India.
NEET PG was introduced to replace the earlier All India Post Graduate Medical Entrance Examination (AIPGMEE) and to unify the admission process, ensuring a transparent and merit-based selection system. The exam tests candidates on subjects covered during the MBBS curriculum, including pre-clinical, para-clinical, and clinical disciplines. It is a computer-based test comprising multiple-choice questions, with a strict marking scheme including negative marking for incorrect answers.
Eligibility for NEET PG requires candidates to have an MBBS degree or provisional pass certificate, registration with the Medical Council of India or State Medical Council, and completion of a one-year internship. The exam is crucial for medical graduates aspiring to specialize and pursue advanced training in various medical fields.
