There are 31,000 seats on offer for MBBS and another 11,000 seats for PG medical courses. MCI also clarified that state quota in medical colleges would remain intact as National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) will draw up a merit lists at national and state levels separately for General Category, SC, ST and OBC and PD candidates. The proposed NEET entrance examination would cover all medical colleges except AFMC- Armed Forces Medical College, AIIMS- All India Institute of Medical Sciences and Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (Chandigarh) as all these were set up by separate laws and may be out of the purview of NEET.

Alka Prasad, NEET will certainly reduce burden on students. There are still demands for exemptions from NEET from states like Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh on the grounds of variations in syllabus.
Hello sir this is harshitha from banglore i think state sylabus must also be kept in mind while preparing paper to avoid partiality as it is all india even state like tamil naddu, delhi, and more is participating where we can see more cbse and icse so requesting you sir to make a point of state syllabus too… And pls sir as we all are already suffering to fight against this cbse and icse people who have more basics so requesting you behalf of all state student GIVE US A CHANCE LET US TO TAKE A STAND
Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra are asking for exemption from NEET till they change their curriculum in 10+2. Though there may be some bias towards CBSE syllabus as like in IIT JEE, Medical Council of India may consider common syllabus for preparing question paper of NEET. Students those studying in state board colleges have to put extra efforts to crack NEET.
