Is it mandatory for me to attempt NEET to work later on in India? Can I attempt NEET the next year if I'm joining medicine abroad this year?

I completed 12th in the year 2024-2025

    Hi.

    Yes, NEET is mandatory for practicing medicine in India, but the details depend on your path:

    MBBS / Medical degree abroad:

    If you complete an MBBS abroad and want to practice in India, you must pass the FMGE / NExT exam (Foreign Medical Graduate Examination / National Exit Test).

    To be eligible for FMGE/NExT, you must have qualified NEET-UG before joining the foreign medical college. 

    Implication: Even if you study abroad, NEET is required before admission if you plan to work as a doctor in India.

    No, not if your goal is to practice in India later.

    NEET-UG must be cleared before enrolling in the foreign MBBS programme for the degree
