NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) and JIPMER (Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research) are both entrance examinations in India for medical courses, yet they differ in several key aspects:
Conducting Body:
NEET is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission to medical and dental colleges across India, except for institutions like AIIMS and JIPMER.
JIPMER is conducted by the Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research for admission to its MBBS program and other allied courses.
Scope:
NEET covers admission to MBBS, BDS, AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy), and veterinary courses.
JIPMER primarily covers admission to its MBBS program and a few other allied medical courses.
Exam Pattern:
NEET has a standardized exam pattern with multiple-choice questions from physics, chemistry, and biology (botany and zoology).
JIPMER also follows a multiple-choice question format but may include a few questions from logical reasoning, quantitative reasoning, English comprehension, and general awareness along with physics, chemistry, and biology.
Number of Attempts:
NEET allows candidates to attempt the exam a maximum of three times until the upper age limit is reached.
JIPMER, until recently, allowed candidates two attempts. However, with the merger of JIPMER with NEET, this distinction may have ceased to exist.
Number of Seats and Colleges:
NEET covers a vast number of medical colleges across India, including both government and private institutions.
JIPMER primarily covers admission to the JIPMER campuses in Puducherry and Karaikal.
Admission Process:
NEET scores are used by various state counseling authorities and private institutions for admissions.
JIPMER conducts its own counseling process for admissions based on JIPMER ranks.
Language of Examination:
NEET is conducted in multiple languages, including English, Hindi, and various regional languages.
JIPMER is primarily conducted in English.
While NEET is more extensive in terms of the number of colleges and courses it covers, JIPMER holds prominence for its prestigious MBBS program and allied courses offered at its institutes. Candidates should choose the exam based on their career goals and the institutions they aim to pursue their medical education in.
