What are Pros and Cons of NEET
Pros NEET has now replaced numerous medical entrance exams
NEET saves both time and money.
NTA only conducts NEET and prepares its Merit List.
NEET is expected to bring transparency in the admission process of private medical colleges.
NEET will be conducted twice in a year
NEET is conducted in 10 regional languages
CONS
Students of different state boards, where syllabus is not similar to that of CBSE, are on receiving end. Though, there is no change in syllabus for NEET currently, NTA is expected to fix this issue in future.
States like Tamil Nadu where admission in medical colleges were earlier carried out based on performance in class 12, NEET has received stiff opposition. Now, NEET is mandatory for taking admission in any medical college in the country.
NEET has not played any role whatsoever in reducing fees of private medical colleges, though it checked donation during admission.
Students who reach at exam centres late on exam day; often miss their exam. NTA must conduct special NEET exam for these students as many come from remote areas and even other states. Currently, they lose one precious year and sadly they don’t have second opportunity like earlier.
