No, JIPMER Puducherry doesn't accept students on the basis of NEET for the B.Sc. in Optometry course. Rather, admissions are held on the basis of the entrance exam of JIPMER or according to the institute's admission policy. Applicants should have a 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Botany/Zoology, and English as core subjects. The selection process normally consists of an online entrance examination followed by counseling. Eligibility criteria, pattern of exams, and admission process can be altered every year, hence it's advised to refer to the official JIPMER website for updates.
