Previously known as the All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT), the National Eligibility criteria Entrance Test (Undergraduate) or NEET (UG) is an All-India Pre-Medical Entrance Exam for students wishing to enroll in undergraduate medical (MBBS), dental (BDS), and AYUSH (BAMS, BUMS, BHMS, etc.) programmes in government and private institutions in India as well as for those planning to pursue primary medical education abroad.

National Testing Agency (NTA) administers the test, and State Counseling Authorities and the Directorate General of Health Services under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare receive the results in order to assign seats.

The All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT) and other pre-medical exams held by states and different medical institutes were superseded by NEET-UG. However, the exam was unable to be held in 2014 or 2015 as a result of lawsuits brought against it.

There is only one entrance exam, called NEET-UG, for more than 66,000 MBBS and BDS seats all over India. In terms of applicants registered, NEET UG is the exam with the most candidates.

For admission to medical colleges in India, including the All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education & Research (JIPMER), NEET-UG replaced the previous independent entrance tests when the NMC Act 2019 was passed in September 2019.

State-run entrance exams and entrance exams for famous medical schools like AIIMS, JIPMER, IMS-BHU, KMC Manipal & Mangalore, and CMC Vellore were held prior to the national implementation of NEET (UG).
