NEET Mandatory for MBBS in Abroad, Scores to be Valid for 3 Years - MCI

The Medical Council of India (MCI) has ruled that the National Entrance Eligibility Test (NEET) for applicants wishing to practice medicine abroad is mandatory, in accordance with the official notification of the MCI Gazette. Students have a reason to rejoice because MCI has extended the validity period of the NEET scores to 3 years. Each year, around 7,000 students choose to take medicine courses abroad and go to China, and Russia to study medicine.

"The result of NEET will be valid for a period of three (3) years from the date of the declaration of the result, giving the right to a candidate to follow an MBBS or an equivalent medicine course, including a pre-medicine course / language, if any, followed by an MBBS or equivalent medical course “to take an undergraduate medical course at a foreign medical institution, according to the MCI notification.

NEET will be held on May 5, 2019, in a pencil-and-paper mode throughout the country.

Last March, the MCI, in its notification, said: "Indian citizens / overseas citizens of India who intend to obtain a primary medical qualification from any medical institution outside of India, on or after May of 2018, must necessarily qualify the NEET for admission to the MBBS course, in addition to fulfilling the eligibility criteria for admission to the MBBS course prescribed in the Regulation on Medical Graduate Education, 1997”.
