For Tamil Nadu, the Directorate of Medical Education and Research has a separate admission process for Allied and Healthcare (AHS) UG degree courses, distinct from MBBS/BDS admission. The 2026–27 admission notifications specifically list AHS UG degree courses and AHS diploma/certificate courses.

Most B.Sc Nursing programmes in Uttar Pradesh do require a NEET UG score for admission. Some diploma-level or Post Basic Nursing programmes may accept students through separate state entrance tests instead. Private colleges sometimes have their own entrance criteria too. It's best to check each college's exact admission page. Rules can change year to year, so don't assume last year's process still applies. Always confirm directly with the college.

Possibly yes, if your college accepts the separate MH B.Sc Nursing CET exam. Not every student needs to clear NEET to get a nursing seat in Maharashtra. Some private institutes rely purely on this state-level test. So a weak NEET score doesn't automatically close the door on nursing.

No, NEET is generally not required for admission to B.Sc. Forensic Science. Most universities have their own eligibility criteria, which usually include passing Class 12 with Science subjects, particularly Physics, Chemistry, and Biology or Mathematics.
For example, LPU's B.Sc. Forensic Sciences accepts candidates through its specified admission routes, including LPUNEST, JEE Main or CUET, subject to eligibility. NEET is not listed as a compulsory requirement.

Yes, you can study a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) without clearing or even appearing for NEET in many universities and colleges across India. Many colleges offer admission based on Class 12th scores. You should check the eligibility requirements of the college before applying.

SMS Medical College Jaipur, AIIMS Jodhpur, and SN Medical College Jodhpur consistently have the toughest, most competitive NEET cutoffs in Rajasthan. These flagship colleges attract students with very high NEET UG ranks every year. Other established colleges like JLN Ajmer also see strong competition. Checking multi-year cutoff trends helps set realistic goals before counselling. Building a smart, realistic preference list is key to securing a good seat.
