NEET vs. MCAT: Hardest Medical Entrance Exam?

[@Akarsh.uploads]

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE COMMENT, OTHERWISE U WILL BE MISGUIDED So basically 1. The best colleges (all the AIIMS)in India u can get in by scoring between 695-720 that's it any score below 690 is a nightmare for a student who wants to get selected in AIIMS unless n until u have a caste certificate or physical disability certificate 2. Now any score between 560-689 will get u in a good GMC (govt medical colleges). They are also good but not better than AIIMS but some are. 3. 480 - 555 u will still get selected in a GMC but not really good. 4. Any score below 480 the student is not eligible for mbbs😢. But they can go for either BDS(dental) or any other course. IMP NOTE :- the score scale I mentioned Above is a temporary scale which changes every year n that depends upon the cutoff which the avg score of the whole exam set by the cumulative score of all the students. ALSO!! the most unfair thing in neet is the introduction of Caste certificate and PWD certificate (physical disability) and all different quota. With the help of these certificates, students who scored 338 can get into AIIMS (actual score scale is 695-720)

[@ArvindRajan]

Thanks for the thorough info!!

[@jeffbezos1237]

​@@ArvindRajanand this year for AIIMS EVEN A 720 SCORER CAN'T GET INTO AIIMS BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS SCORING 720 IS GREATER THAN THE SEATS SO THEY JUST GAVE ADMISSION TO THOSE STUDENTS WHO'S APPLICATION NUMBER COMES FIRST😂 AND YOU NEED 660 MARKS FOR ANY MEDICAL COLLEGE IN INDIA

I think the MCAT is harder in general, but the NEET exam is hard because you take it at such a young age. If you were to take NEET at 21 years old then it wouldn't be as bad.

My friend, I suggest you to read the NTA and AAMC guidelines. It will give you a clear vision behind the exam pattern and structure. NTA designed papers to familiarise students with theoretical based concepts and long duration study. For example, they take out the preparation percentage of the average students then create a proper exam pattern. On the other hand, AAMC and Cambridge Testing Agency focus on the critical thinking skills and applied conceptual framework, which specifically examine the applied knowledge of the candidate.

[@uokay9428]

Quick question, if you don't mind. What actually makes NEET difficult, is the cut throat competition for GOVT SUBSIDISED seats ,cuz you know middle class Indian family can't afford 85 lakh+ for private medical colleges which intake applicants with much lower scores. Then why don't you join Indian Private medical college (much lower fees compared to US medical schools, much lesser efforts in terms of admission process, score requirements)? Is it bc US degree is more recognized world wide?

[@sahilinouterspace]

@@uokay9428 Okay, see do you agree that India has more applicants than the seats to study medical sciences?? I am gonna take SAT exam to start. If after the SAT my mind changes to study cs or anything else I will be able to opt it. And the US has more seats to study medical sciences than it is in India. Even when India has almost 5 times the population of the US. I have said that my family moved back to India but I still have the US green card. Me and my brother are staying here in Philadelphia.

Loved this! I always wondered how different the process is between the Indian and US system. One thing I did realize is that the US medical and other doctoral programs like optometry really focuses on material comprehensively and I feel like that is a huge reason why it takes us so long to complete our doctorate programs. Looking at the differences between the NEET and MCAT exam is a great comparison. Since the NEET is taken by many 17 year olds makes sense why questions are more straight up. The Indian and American Medical System both release some great docs either way! Great information btw :D

[@tirthpatel3541]

Hi Arvind, great video! I did my HS in India and took NEET there. I did not receive any "cast-reservation" benefits. Although I scored in the 98-97 percentile and got into an Indian government medical college, I believe the MCAT is much harder than the NEET. Compared to NEET where questions are pretty straightforward, MCAT is a logical test that makes it more challenging. NEET is more like a content review test, while the MCAT requires understanding concepts and applying them to different scenarios. For ESL students, including myself, the MCAT gets more rigorous as it requires fast reading, which is something that Indian students don't get to practice often during their HS. Unfortunately, I decided not to pursue medicine in India and immigrated to the US a couple years ago. I am a BME major at Umich Ann Arbor and taking my MCAT in the next two years. Your channel and videos are amazing.

While preparing for NEET, we practice all kinds of questions (including passage based) because most students are also simultaneously preparing for their 12th boards. I thinks that helps in understanding the concepts better. Biology is very fact based - but the biotechnology questions are particularly challenging (but always fun to solve). Chemistry is concept based.....but there are a million exceptions and the questions usually come from these exceptions. Physics is almost completely dependent on your conceptual understanding. It is incredibly difficult if you aren't completely familiar with every type of question that could possibly come in the exam. Unless you are someone that truly loves and enjoys reading physics.....it is going to be a pain in the ass. NEET exam is very hard to crack in the 1st attempt. Even great students that get 95%+ in boards don't get great marks in the 1st attempt. Only students that are exceptionally good and fast at understanding concepts or hv another family member that is a doctor, usually perform well and get 650+ . Most students end up taking 1 or 2 drop years to crack NEET. If you want to know more about the pressure that students feel while preparing for these exams then i recommend you watch the series-'Kota factory'. This show is not about NEET aspirants but about a similar exam called IIT-JEE - which is just as competitive and hard .

In the year 2024 approximately 2.5 million students took neet examination and the minimum score required to get admission into MBBS is 655 and to get admission into a top college you need almost 700+

[@Dspx2]

Approximately 22 lakh students appearing for NEET contribute to the intense competition, resulting in high cutoffs and increased paper difficulty. The exam becomes excessively challenging due to the heightened competition, even though the paper itself shouldn't be excessively difficult.

For general category students to get admission in goverment medical college in India the candidate must score a minimum of 600 marks. Althought the cutoff range might vary year after year.

To get into a prestigious government college in India like AIIMS, you need a score of at least 680 and above. For other government colleges that are not as famous, a score of 620 and above is required. Private colleges, which are more expensive than government colleges, can be entered with a score above 400.

I know a lot of people with good rich families having reservation certificates and get easy admissions , one of my known person who owns a range rover and gets admission in UCMS( AIQ quota ) at 567 with SC quota . He has an iPhone , a macbook , an iPad , a smart watch , and literally so much. Damn he's oppressed ! Reservation is creating more problems than upliftment right now in 2022...! The upliftment era using reservation is over (2000-2010) So please keep your thoughts to yourself . Economical reservation , YES, Required!

@@jasmine0613 no.. it's not.you are right that reservation should be removed for the upper class sc and st candidates. But you can't claim that they're not subjected to casteism. I,myself belong to SC category and we have been facing mild casteism for 33 years in workplace, residential area,etc. We can't buy a house in some apartments or places because the builder denies us by saying that they don't make deals with lower caste and communities. Yes, we're not that oppressed but i must say that people of my community have faced atrocities and they're still suffering from these things. In Rajasthan's private school, recently a 9 y/o boy was beaten to death by the teacher from.upper caste because he drank water from the pot. The point is... reservation is not the only solution. We have to be more kind to these people who have been oppressed, abandoned and humiliated by the society. I'm joining med school on lower score of 560 and i know that some of my general category friends who have scored 580 may not be able to get admission. That also breaks my heart. And i wish that reservation get limited to the most needy people.but Don't just say that we're not oppressed now ...ho and hear the cases in rural and urban areas of many Indian states where people belonging to lower categories are oppressed for performing basic activities!

The video is extremely good while comparing both of the exams but I would like to add some changes: In NEET Exam, if you want to get admission into mbbs, u need atleast 620+ ... no scope under 600 but for dental, ayurvedic and homeopathic colleges, we need around 500.. Also, the no. of candidates appearing for the NEET exam is increasing year by year, 1.5 million were 2-3 yrs back, in 2023, they were around 2 M and this is bcz of the fact that droppers are increasing.. AND AND AND! after mbbs, we need to get our specialization (md/ms) which is of 3 yrs, ie. we also become dr after the age of 26! And for doing md after mbbs, we need to give another exam- INICET/ NEET-PG (NEET Post Graduation) which is also rank based so as to get different specializations (ortho, cardio, derma, gynae, internal med, etc.)

[@pavithraselvaraj4]

Thank you for the detailed analysis!!! 😊❣ The ability to get into a good medical college in India depends on many factors like: 1. money: management/private college seats can be filled if the candidate has just the minimum qualifying marks: approx. 120, and a lot of money 💵 💵 2. region: some states have more competition due to more aspirants and higher cut offs than others 3. reservation: community/ caste based, Physically challenged, Economically weaker section(recently introduced, with the lowest cutoff) 4. your overall rank can also vary based on the individual subject marks(bio>chem>phy), no. incorrect answers and age. On a rough note, a candidate must get a 600+ to be on the safer side. That does not guarantee the "top" colleges though. I am a repeater. I got 440 last year, and can get a dental admission/ or ayurvedic course. I chose to take the exam again in 2023. Also, apart from periodic table, no log tables or calculators are provided as well... making it super hard to do calculations in the given time slot 😥

[@lahoriataran939]

The NEET cutoff is determined by various factors such as the total number of seats available, the difficulty level of the exam, and the overall performance of the candidates. So, while aiming for a score around 600 might seem feasible in some cases, it's crucial to stay updated on the official cutoff scores released by the authorities each year. Aspiring medical students should always aim to score higher than the cutoff to ensure they have the best chance of securing admission to their desired medical schools.

[@sofiamondal379]

another major thing that stresses us out here preparing for neet is the number of reservations that are made. the major ones being the state quota and the caste reservations. basically, if you belong to a state then you get to enjoy the state quota provided by a renowned college of that state which consumes like 85% of the total seats and just 15% is left for the students belonging to the all India quota which further includes other sorts of reservations like the caste reservation etc. so admission into a good college becomes even more difficult when you belong to a state that doesn't have a good med college and you belong to the general category. also you need to get at least 680-690 for a prestigious college.

The difficulty of the MCAT is not equal to the difficulty of being accepted into med school in Canada so you cannot use that as a metric to compare the exams. Yet we still have ~4% acceptance rate here, all things considered. Depending on which school you apply it can drop to 2% as well. This does NOT consider the MANY pre meds who change their mind early on in the undergraduate program either. In Canada we also have to sacrifice much more of our lives to preparing for med school applications, including thousands of hours in varied extracurricular activities, research experience, clinical and non clinical volunteering, casper exam, multiple minute interviews, maintenance of > 3.9 GPA -- the MCAT is a gruelling marathon of an exam but it is a SMALL part of our overall extreme application. Moreover, the MCAT actually tests understanding of material and critical analysis rather than just being able to recall facts quickly or solve a physics problem in 40 seconds, which is arguably more difficult to train for and requires years and years of honing your knowledge, test taking abilities and ability to dissect research texts.

In neet 600 + marks are minimum safe score for general category for getting in a average government medical college in india 😑😑😑

[@ArvindRajan]

Wow I was wrong 😅

[@riyamishra3447]

I am struggling with high rising cutoff bcoz of this just pointed out this thing 🙂

[@HaroonRashid-xo9yx]

In neet you get nothing below 98.7 or 98.8 percentile.

[@santhoshmudavath1059]

brother according to neet information you have given in the video is somewhat different but actually, students who get 600+ in neet are getting into med school. but those who are getting even 580 are not able to get selected into top government colleges. it's very difficult to clear this exam. but yeah you can get private institutes even if you get 200 marks but they range the tuition fees from 251291 dollars (approx).

[@ArvindRajan]

ahh interesting! so it seems like the main difference is the concept of getting into government med schools and normal med schools.

[@Ariesspring22]

After qualifying NEET with good marks, the medical school fees is like 30k per year (Rupees) ... So whats the fees of public med schools in the US per annum after qualifying MCAT with good marks?

[@ArvindRajan]

Public med schools are around $35k per year

[@Pwianstuden007]

Nice but bro you showed physics question of neet , you got them wrong? They were easy , neet aspirant here ❤️

[@OM_playz_59]

Actually 2.5 million students give neet exam

[@prateeksha2889]

Also i thought usmle was the exam that one needs to give so as to become a doctor in us umm maybe you give it after your md degree ig? Also i wish to become a doctor in us from what I've planned rn : I'll complete mbbs from india and then apply for usmle. And I've seen a lot of videos on usmle but never really understood what's after that like i know that it's a whole process and everything. What I'm tryna say is if you could please make a video on usmle as well and explain it from scratch to what after to get matched. Would really be of so much help to me also since you're someone who lives there you'd probably know better.

[@ArvindRajan]

So we take the usmle during medical school - there are two different usmle exams that i know of: step 1 and step 2. You usually take step 1 in the second year of medical school, then step 2 at the end of medical school, after that you get your MD degree. I'm not sure the process for IMG's like yourself tho - I think you take usmle after mbbs in your timeline! Sorry I'm not that much help haha

[@prateeksha2889]

[@sumitjha2993]

Bro it's 2023 and 1) over 2 (almost 2.5) million students and participating 2) yes we do have more than 80k seats but the real fight is for only 15-20k seats which are available in government med. Colleges 3) If you get less than 610 They won't let you wander even at the college gate. 4) In order to get into most prestigious colleges above 705 or say 710 is required.

That’s actually insane

Hi I need more details about medical degree in US.... how can I touch with you buddy?

[@subhrajyoticharkborty349]

500s in no way can get to a govt med school (these are "prestigious") And to get into a more prestigious among those govt ones you need above 630 or so

broo this year the no. of students shot up to 1.8m and its increasing each year I'm getting a score of 596 which may fetch me a good med school Besides that actually i want to pursue pg at some foreign university so if you can make a video on how indian or international undergrads can get into these universities, it will be really helpful btw loved your content you got a sub mate

In my opinion, MCAT is much harder! The amount of content you have to learn, and also how to apply that content logically in new application questions, uses a lot of brain energy lmao. Plus the passages u have to read, and CARS, omg dont even get me started.

[@ArvindRajan]

I do agree - there’s definitely more critical thinking. And yes, CARS is a different beast 😭

Damn.. I wanna give the MCAT but it seems to be even much harder than Neet since you need to appear in 5 to 7 subjects additionally which are not even in your touch for the last two to three years or could be even more, since a students needs to appear the mcat at 21 Years age but still it seems harder.. But yeah, sir, Id just like to ask you something that how did you manage to appear for the mcat with humanities along with science,, I mean see it's obviously a bit tough right to mug up things, when you aren't in a touch with it for last 4 to 5 years ig
