No, NEET is not compulsory for admission to the Bachelor of Optometry course. Admission is usually based on Class 12 marks in Science subjects or entrance exams like CUET.
However, some universities conduct their own tests to assess eligibility. Unlike MBBS or Bachelor0 optometry falls under Paramedical and allied health sciences, so NEET is not a requirement.
