MBBS Course Admission in AIIMS and JIPMER through NEET from 2020

Attention Aspirants, Admission to MBBS courses in all the medical colleges across the country including JIPMER and all the AIIMS will be through the common national entrance test (NEET) from 2020 which was announced by Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan on Friday.

Currently, admission to all medical colleges except AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) and JIPMER (Jawaharlal Institute of Post-Graduation Medical Education and Research) is done through NEET i.e. National Eligibility cum Entrance Test.

“The Common National Entrance Test-NEET will be applicable to all the institutes of national importance like AIIMS and JIPMER and there will be common counselling procedure for MBBS, as per the National Medical Commission Act, which will come in to force from the next academic year (2020)”.

This will help to set common standards in the medical education sector in the country, said Vardhan.

The National Medical Commission Act, 2019 provides for common national entrance test-NEET along with common counselling for MBBS, and a common final year MBBS exam which will be applicable to all institutes including national importance like AIIMS. At present, AIIMS and JIPMER which function under the Union Ministry conduct their own admission tests.

According to the NMC Act, the NEXT results would be the base for the admission to PG courses and to obtain a license to practice. It would also act as a base for the screening test for foreign medical graduates.

Regulations for operationalizing the NEXT would be made in due course keeping in mind the importance of both theoretical as well as clinical skill sets required at the level of UG after consultation with all stakeholders.
