A medical
profession is one of the most revered professions in the world today.
Doctors earn lots of respect and in many places, there are treated equal to
gods. If someone has the power to relieve you from pain, it is natural you hold
him/her in high regard. A vocation in medicine calls for immense hard work and
commitment.
Admissions to medical colleges happen through
various state and national level examinations. Government colleges across the
country offer admission based on scores obtained in the All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT) which is
conducted by the CBSE board. However there are many other state level, national
level and private institute examinations that can help you get admission to
reputed medical schools across the country. Given below are a few of them:
National

are used by Banaras Hindu University and Armed Forces Medical College for admission
to their undergraduate medical courses like MBBS and BDS. NEET-UG is also
conducted by CBSE. This was introduced to replace AIPMT; however there is
currently a stay from the court for this. So both entrance exams can be taken
by prospective candidates.
