Entrance tests
Almost every healthcare admission in India is gated by an entrance exam. At the national level, NEET-UG is the single gateway for MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS and BVSc, while NEET-PG, NEET-MDS and INI-CET govern postgraduate medical and dental seats. Pharmacy uses GPAT, AYUSH PG uses AIAPGET, and several states run their own CETs for state-quota counselling.
Each exam differs in conducting body, level, mode, frequency and the streams it unlocks. Knowing the exam calendar — application windows, exam dates and result timelines — is the first step to a successful admission. The guide below breaks down the major exams for 2026.
