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?

<p>Hi.</p><p>Yes, NEET is mandatory for practicing medicine in India, but the details depend on your path:</p><p data-start="306" data-end="341">MBBS / Medical degree abroad:</p><p data-start="346" data-end="513">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).</p><p data-start="518" data-end="727">To be eligible for FMGE/NExT, you must have qualified NEET-UG before joining the foreign medical college.&nbsp;</p><p data-start="731" data-end="855">Implication: Even if you study abroad, NEET is required before admission if you plan to work as a doctor in India.</p><p>No, not if your goal is to practice in India later.</p><p data-start="998" data-end="1215">NEET-UG must be cleared before enrolling in the foreign MBBS programme for the degree to be recognised in India.</p><p data-start="1218" data-end="1392">Attempting NEET after joining abroad does not make you eligible for FMGE/NExT in India — the NMC specifically requires NEET qualification prior to admission abroad.</p>
