Hi.
NEET is mandatory if you are an Indian citizen and you want to:
1. Study MBBS abroad and return to India to practice as a doctor
In this case, NEET qualification is compulsory because the National Medical Commission (NMC) requires NEET to:
Get admission to most foreign medical colleges.
Later sit for the FMGE/NExT exam to practice in India.

No, NEET is not compulsory to pursue medicine courses abroad. However, students who wish to return to India to practice medicine after completing their studies abroad need to have cleared the NEET exam.
