Bagging a good rank increases one\u2019s chances of securing a seat in one of the top medical colleges. NEET being a highly competitive exam requires an unshakable belief in your abilities. We at Aakash are highly committed to providing the best resources to our students and help them achieve their dreams.<\/p>\n<p>Until 2016, the pre-medical test conducted for admissions to MBBS and BDS courses was AIPMT. In April 2016, the Hon\u2019ble Supreme Court of India passed a verdict to replace AIPMT with NEET. NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) is conducted by CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education), for admissions to MBBS\/BDS in India. All medical and dental colleges that are approved by Medical Council of India are eligible to admit students in the above courses through the NEET score.
