NEW DELHI, OCTOBER, 04: All medical aspirants have to appear in a common entrance exam, NEET from the year 2020. The common exam will apply to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and Jawaharlal Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education (JIPMER) as well.
" The NEET and common counselling will apply to all medical colleges including AIIMS and JIPMER so there will be only one common exam," said a Health Ministry official while briefing the press on the National Medical Commission Act 2019 on October 4.
