NEET 2021 Medical Courses That Do Not Require NEET UG

The National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) UG is a national-level medical entrance examination currently conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). Around 15 lakh students appear for the undergraduate entrance test every year to seek admission for courses like MBBS, BDS and AYUSH. However, due to the level of competition and limitations of seats, success in the exam eludes many.

Sample this – Last year, 15.97 students had applied for NEET UG, around 13 lakh appeared, and only 7,71,500 qualified; which is less than half of those who had applied. And then, the number of MBBS seats in India is to the tune of 80 thousand only. Ironically a chunk of MBBS seats go unfilled, in private colleges due to high fees, and in some relatively newer medical colleges.

As a result, the number of students who drop a year, or repeat NEET are many. There is no official data for this group of students, but the number of batches in coaching centers for first, second time droppers show the number is quite generous. Until some time ago, when there was no age limit in the medical entrance exam, students used to spend years preparing for it. Fortunately or unfortunately, with the presence of upper age limit (still a matter subject to hearings in courts), now usually students drop 1 or 2 years. And some, may choose to look for alternative options to MBBS after the first time.

In the recent time, there has also been an increasing number of students who, in their 10+2 studies itself, decide to go for alternates to MBBS, that do not require NEET UG. This has happened as information has become more easily available, and students have started taking informed career choices; realizing, that the field of medical sciences has a lot to offer besides MBBS.

To help such medical aspirants in their journey, here is a list of such courses in the medical, and allied fields, which do not require NEET UG.
