Some colleges offer it. Ras Bihari Subharti University, DIT University, KIIMS and Dev Bhoomi Uttarakhand University offer direct admission. Direct admission can mean higher fees. Check that the college is approved before you pay. Never pay a broker. Take every receipt from the college itself.

Yes, in most colleges. NCAHP said NEET UG will not be mandatory for BPT and BOT in the 2026-27 session. Many colleges admit through Class 12 PCB marks or their own tests. Top government colleges like KGMU still use NEET. Check each college's notice. Keep your PCB marksheet ready.

The important aspects which one needs to look into when choosing colleges are:

  • Whether they have the UGC approval 
  • The faculty they have 
  • Placement drives 

You should also check the kind of practical experience they offer. Confirm the college is affiliated with a recognised state or central university.
