No EMT course does not require NEET UG for admission. EMT courses are typically offered as certificate, diploma, or BSc programs by various universities and paramedical institutes. EMT course admission process for these courses is generally based on Class 12 marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) or through institution-level entrance exams.
Unlike Medical degrees that require NEET UG, EMT courses focus on training students in emergency care, trauma management, and life-saving procedures to work in ambulance services, hospitals, and emergency departments.
