Is CUET Compulsory for NEET?

CUET (Common University Entrance Test) and NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) are two different exams conducted for different purposes. While CUET is conducted for admission to various undergraduate courses offered by central universities across India, NEET is conducted for admission to undergraduate medical and dental courses in India.

Therefore, it is important to note that CUET is not compulsory for NEET. The eligibility criteria, exam pattern, and syllabus for the two exams are different, and candidates need to fulfill the respective eligibility criteria and prepare accordingly.

NEET is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) and is the only national-level entrance exam for admission to undergraduate medical and dental courses in India. The exam consists of 180 multiple-choice questions from physics, chemistry, and biology, and candidates need to score a minimum qualifying percentage to be eligible for admission to medical and dental colleges in India.

On the other hand, CUET is conducted for admission to undergraduate courses offered by central universities across India. The exam consists of two parts: Part A and Part B. Part A consists of language proficiency, general awareness, mathematical aptitude, and analytical skills, while Part B is subject-specific and consists of questions related to the course that the candidate has opted for.

In conclusion, CUET and NEET are two different exams conducted for different purposes, and it is not mandatory for candidates appearing for NEET to appear for CUET as well. Candidates need to fulfill the respective eligibility criteria and prepare accordingly to secure admission to medical and dental courses or undergraduate courses offered by central universities in India.
