Is NEET Exam very tough to pass?

Is NEET Exam very tough to pass?

Around 16 lakh students try to crack the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) every year. Around 57 percent of them pass the exam though not all can secure a seat in the government medical colleges. Is NEET Exam very tough to pass?

Official data given by the Medical Council of India (MCI), says there are 272 medical colleges run and administered by central and various state governments/UT administrations. These 272 medical colleges offer a total of 41,388 seats for the MBBS course. Among these, Karnataka offers the highest number of MBBS seats which count 2900 in total. Considering the fact that 16 lakh students running for 41,388 seats in MBBS, competition is very tough.

National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) can be termed as one of the toughest entrance exams in India. The high number of aspirants for MBBS may be due to many factors. Firstly, it is considered a most successful career and a profession where high returns are guaranteed. Another factor for the high competition is the disparity between the fees of private medical colleges and government medical colleges. And offcourse, the large population of India is another factor. With the growing population demand for health services is on the rise and the seats in medical colleges are limited.

If the seats in private medical colleges are also added to the list, there are 542 medical and 313 dental colleges in India. The NEET exam is conducted for admission to as many as 83,125 MBBS, 26,949 BDS, 52,720 AYUSH, and 525 BVSc & AH seats in all these colleges. MCI information says that MBBS seats in India have been increased by 5200 this year.  Furthermore, 50 seats in MBBS will be added to the Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College (JNMC), of the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU). Considering the high number of aspirants for the NEET exam, these seats are not enough to fulfill the demand.

Not only the number of seats but also the syllabus and exam pattern make NEET one of the toughest examinations in India to crack. Getting admission to MBBS isn’t as easy as it seems. A survey by the Tamil Nadu government suggests as many as 90% of students who clear the NEET exam to join one coaching or the other.

It is not easy to attempt NEET without proper guidance and coaching. Sometimes clearing NEET or surpassing the cut-off only makes you eligible for admission. Most of the times students don’t get admissions because of the low number of seats available.

So what’s the way? Experts say that there is no shortcut. To clear a NEET exam one needs proper concentration, consistent studies, and quality coaching. Quality coaching doesn’t mean the big names in the industry. It means a place where crows are low and one on one training is a norm.

One needs to select the coaching not by the number of students clearing the exam but by the ratio of students appearing and clearing the exam. Some coaching institutes enroll thousand plus students but their success ratio is below 7 or 8 percent. There are few who get 10-15 out of 50-60 students who attempted NEET. This makes the difference. To know how to clear the NEET exam easily, read the article by clicking here.
