Introduction

According to the recognised medical council of India, more than 600 medical colleges in India offer MBBS and BDS programs. Many young students are inclined toward the NEET exam and aspire to become doctors, surgeons, and dentists. Many PCB background students' first aim is to become renowned Doctors. Students get seats in the undergraduate as well as postgraduate programmes for MD, MS, and MBBS. Every year, the Indian Government updates the list of approved medical colleges in the country. Since 2016, the Government of India has decided to centralize the entrance examination for admissions in government or private medical colleges in India. Hence, the government has brought every other entrance exam under one roof, called NEET.
