PLEASE KEEP THE SYLLABUS AS BEFORE AND PATTERN OF EXAM MUST BE OBJECTIVE TYPE.
HOW THE ALLOTMENT OF SEATS WILL BE DONE ? IT IS A VERY CONFUSING MATTER TILL NOW.
HOW THE STUDENTS WILL BE ABSORBED IN REPUTED PRIVATE MEDICAL COLLEGES.
KINDLY THINK OVER THIS MATTER.
THANKS
its unfair to conduct NEET this year as we dont follow a commom syllabus across the country. It will be unfair for students taking studies with ISC, STATE BOARD.So centre should first implement a common syllabus and then move ahead with NEET in the upcoming years.
neet ug should not be from this year as whole country doesnt follow a common board ..
I think it is a better idea especially for students abroad.The syllabus prescribed by them is same as NCERT.
hello sir!I do not think it is a wise decision to conduct NEET this year as well as in the coming years unless the whole country starts following a common board.It will be very tough for students appearing for the medical exam this year as the portions have already been completed, and starting studying a new set of books in such a short time is really tough.I request you to please think over this decision.
When making the rank list, the marks of qualifying examination should not be considered but only consider the marks of NEET-UG. otherwise, students studying in state syllabus get higher ranks in rank list due to the liberalized valuation of their qualifying examinations. State govts. will definitely direct their boards to give plenty of marks to their students in the qualifying exams irrespective of standard of student causing under standard students will become medical officers in our country while brilliant students will remain out….. So, while making the rank list for NEET-UG consider only marks of entrance exam….. thanks
please include human physiology in our core syllabus and make the paper objective only.
How will colleges be allotted ,list of colleges merit wise needs to be furnished ,&how will states decide their own share of seats,& states need to adopt ncert type teaching instead of their own boards
11th and 12 std. syllabus is not the same for all the various boards across the country. So CBSE students have an unfair advantage as the core syllabus is based on their syllabus
PLZ TELL me that students who have passed class 12 from NOS (national open school) can they appear for this medical entrance? will they get admission after qualifying if they have done class 12 from NOS?????
every syllabus should be same as ncert as every one follows the syllabus and it should be objectve not subjective as it was
Hi Arijeet,

hello friends
on most of the websites it is written that paper will be objective comprising of 180 questions with no negative marking
