All
India Pre Medical Entrance Tests and Syllabus
Entrance
examinations to Medical colleges are conducted on
an All India basis as well as state wise basis.
Apart from this, some national level institutions
also conduct their own entrance tests. The test
is based on 12th standard syllabus.
Eligibility : 10+2 / equivalent with Physics,
Chemistry & Biology, or Pre Medical or B.Sc.
background.
The Central Board of Secondary Examination, Delhi
conducts an All India Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental
Entrance Exam to select the candidates at an
all India level (except in the states of Jammu &
Kashmir and Andhra Pradesh ) for admission to roughly
15% of the total seats in the colleges of
each state. Andhra Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir
do not admit students from other states. Information
about the exam can be obtained from the following
address:
All
India Pre-Medical/ Pre- Dental Entrance Examination
Unit
CBSE, 17-B, Indraprastha Estate, New Delhi 110002
The
states also conduct their own Pre-med entrance
exam for domiciled candidates. Gujarat and Maharashtra
admit students on the basis of merit, in the 10+2
examination.
There are some national level institutes where admission
does not hinge on domicile status. These institutions
admit candidates through their own Entrance test.
Time
of Entrance tests:
The
announcement for All India Pre-medical Examination
comes in January and tests are conducted in
March or April.
State Level examinations are announced in January
and conducted in March-April. National level
institute examinations are announced usually in
January- March and test conducted in
May-June.
Merit
ranking of this entrance exam is applicable for
admission to MBBS, BDS (Dentistry), BHMS (Homeopathy),
BAMS (Ayurveda).
