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.

Yes, international students can take part in the undergraduate programs after completing their 12th. Students need to fulfill the basic eligibility by holding a proof of high school completion, and submit certain mandatory documents, including academic transcripts of their qualification, standardized test scores (ACT/SAT), and demonstrate their English language proficiency. Students must perform exceptionally well in class XII, and may need to submit scores from the College Board Advanced Placement, IIT JEE, or STEP to get admission.
