NEET UG is one of the largest entrance examinations in India. In recent years, more than 20 lakh students have registered for the exam annually. The exact number varies slightly each year depending on the number of applicants. Despite the large number of candidates, the number of available MBBS seats in India is significantly lower, which makes the competition extremely intense. As a result, securing a high rank is essential for admission to top government medical colleges.
