Under NMC's rules, a NEET-UG qualification remains valid for three years for students who want to study medicine abroad. That means a student who qualified NEET in 2024, 2025 or 2026 can apply for the 2026–27 intake.
Who this helps
- Students who took a drop year hoping for a government seat in India
- Students who qualified but could not afford private college fees
- Students who need time to arrange finances or passports
Remember that qualifying marks, not ranks, are what matter for admission abroad. Keep your NEET scorecard safe — you will need it again for FMGE / NExT.
