In 1583, the University of Edinburgh opened its gates for its first students. It was formed after Bishop Robert Reid of St. Magnus Cathedral made a will in 1557, containing an endowment of 8,000 marks to build a college in Edinburgh. However, the bequest was delayed for more than 25 years due to the religious revolution of 1560. Following the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century, the university was positioned at the forefront of academia and critical thinking.

Yes, NEET is obligatory for Indian students who want to practice in India after returning from foreign MBBS. If students don't qualify from NEET, they cannot register with the Medical Council of India (NMC).
NEET is not required for admission into foreign medical schools themselves. This would include medical schools in the USA or UK, where the requirements are high school grades, taking exams such as the MCAT (for USA), or UK college specific admission criteria.
This is an important distinction to make and provides assurance to students that they will be eligible to practice in India after extending their degree duration abroad.
