No, NEET is not typically required for admission to BSc OTT. NEET is primarily used for admissions to medical courses such as MBBS and BDS.

However, it's always best to check the specific requirements of the institution you are interested in for the most accurate information.

Paramedical people are like helpers in hospitals. All they do are important jobs such as in emergencies or in labs to support doctors.

But, Medical is bigger. It's about doctors who treat patients, find what's wrong with them, give treatment, and stop sickness from coming back. So, paramedical helps medical team, and together they take care of people.
