NEET

Hi.

Yes, NEET is mandatory for practicing medicine in India, but the details depend on your path:

MBBS / Medical degree abroad:

If you complete an MBBS abroad and want to practice in India, you must pass the FMGE / NExT exam (Foreign Medical Graduate Examination / National Exit Test).

To be eligible for FMGE/NExT, you must have qualified NEET-UG before joining the foreign medical college. 

Implication: Even if you study abroad, NEET is required before admission if you plan to work as a doctor in India.

No, not if your goal is to practice in India later.

NEET-UG must be cleared before enrolling in the foreign MBBS programme for the degree to be recognised in India.

Attempting NEET after joining abroad does not make you eligible for FMGE/NExT in India — the NMC specifically requires NEET qualification prior to admission abroad.

Hi.

There's no fixed “marks out of 720 in NEET” that guarantees admission to All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Nagpur (AIIMS Nagpur) — because admission depends on many factors (category, quota, seats, number of applicants). But we can look at recent cut‑offs / closing ranks to estimate roughly what you'd need.

For 2025, the closing (last admitted) All‑India Rank (AIR) for general‑category under AI quota at AIIMS Nagpur was ≈ 1030. 

For NEET‑2025, qualifying percentiles (and corresponding marks ranges) for general/unreserved category start at 50th percentile (i.e. minimum pass) — but getting that alone will almost never be enough for AIIMS; to secure admission you need a very high rank. 

Some unofficial estimates for “marks likely needed” (for general‑category) hover around 680–720 out of 720 (depending on exam difficulty and number of aspirants) for AIIMS‑level competition. 

For reserved categories (OBC/SC/ST/EWS), the required marks/ranks tend to be lower — but still high compared to merely “passing.”
