What is the NEET PG exam?
NEET PG — the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Postgraduate) — is the single national entrance examination conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) for admission to postgraduate medical courses in India. A candidate's rank in NEET PG decides entry to MD, MS and PG Diploma seats in medical colleges as well as to DNB and Diplomate courses, across both government and private institutions.
The exam is a single computer-based paper of 200 multiple-choice questions worth 800 marks, to be answered in 3 hours 30 minutes, and it draws on all 19 MBBS subjects — from the pre-clinical anatomy, physiology and biochemistry, through the para-clinical pathology, pharmacology, microbiology and forensic medicine, to the clinical subjects of medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics and the specialties. Each correct answer earns 4 marks and each wrong answer costs 1 mark, so both broad recall across subjects and disciplined attempting decide the final rank.
