NEET PG 2025 Eligibility Criteria

This document outlines the eligibility criteria for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test - Postgraduate (NEET PG) 2025, required for admission to MD, MS, PG Diploma, and Post-MBBS DNB courses in India.

To be eligible for NEET PG 2025, candidates must meet the following requirements:

1. Educational Qualification:

• Candidates must possess an MBBS degree or a provisional MBBS pass certificate from an institute recognized by the Medical Council of India (MCI) or the National Medical Commission (NMC).
• The degree must be from a recognized medical college listed under the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956.

2. Internship Completion:

• Candidates must have completed or be likely to complete a one-year compulsory rotating internship by July 31, 2025.
• A certificate of internship completion or a document confirming the likelihood of completion by the specified date is required during the counseling process.

3. Registration with Medical Council:

• Candidates must hold a permanent or provisional registration certificate issued by the Medical Council of India (MCI), National Medical Commission (NMC), or a State Medical Council (SMC).
• This registration must be valid at the time of application and admission.

4. Citizenship:

Indian Citizens and Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) are eligible to apply.

• Foreign Medical Graduates:

  • Must have passed the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) conducted by the National Board of Examinations (NBE).

  • Must obtain a registration certificate from the MCI/NMC to practice medicine in India.

5. Class 12 Marks:

• There is no specific marks requirement for Class 12 or equivalent examinations.

• Candidates must have passed Class 12 from a recognized Central/State Board (e.g., CBSE, ICSE) or equivalent, but the percentage of marks does not affect NEET PG eligibility.

6. Age Limit: There is no upper age limit for NEET PG 2025, as per the latest NBE guidelines.

7. Number of Attempts: There is no restriction on the number of attempts for NEET PG, allowing candidates to appear as many times as needed, provided they meet other eligibility criteria.

Important Considerations

• Verification: Candidates must submit original documents (MBBS degree, internship certificate, MCI/NMC/SMC registration, etc.) during counseling for verification.

• Foreign Nationals: Foreign nationals may be eligible subject to NBE and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare regulations, but they must comply with FMGE and MCI/NMC registration requirements.

• Application Corrections: Candidates can edit details like date of birth, gender, category, physical disability status, photograph, signature, and EWS status during designated edit windows (e.g., May 9–13, 2025, for general edits; May 17–21 and May 24–26, 2025, for image corrections).

• Official Source: The eligibility criteria are subject to confirmation in the NEET PG 2025 Information Bulletin on the NBE website (nbe.edu.in). Candidates should check for updates or changes.

• Internship Deadline: If a candidate’s internship completion extends beyond July 31, 2025, they will be ineligible for the 2025 session and must apply in the next cycle.

• FMGE for Foreign Graduates: Passing FMGE is mandatory for foreign medical graduates to be eligible for NEET PG, and they must secure MCI/NMC registration.

• Disqualification: Providing false information or failing to meet any criterion (e.g., incomplete internship, unrecognized degree) will lead to disqualification during counseling or admission.
