This ends months of confusion for the medical college aspirants for India. If you have been following this closely, you must have come across that the Supreme Court had quashed the NEET through a verdict on 18th July 2013. The NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) was controversy-ridden right from the the time it was announced - there were objections from almost every quarter - from the students and their parents, from the private medical colleges and also from the state governments (like Tamil Nadu, which considers only the 10+2 results of students for medical entrance and the Govt. of West Bengal, Gujarat and Karnataka, which wanted NEET to be held in regional languages).
So it is confirmed now that AIPMT is back again in 2014, in place of NEET 2014. But although the nomenclature has changed, AIPMT 2014 would be more akin to NEET 2013 than AIPMT 2012. And this is the subject matter of this blog post. In a subsequent article AIPMT 2014 Exam Pattern, Syllabus, Papers & Books I would provide you the prep materials for this medical entrance exam.
What is new in AIPMT 2014:
As said AIPMT 2014 would be quite different than AIPMT 2012 - AIPMT 2012 was held in two stages: Prelims and Final while AIPMT 2014 would only be a single-stage entrance exam. Also, number of questions in AIPMT 2014 would be lower - there were 200 questions in AIPMT 2012 (50 each from Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Zoology) while there would be 180 questions in AIPMT 2014 (45 questions from each subject).
In essence therefore you should base your preparation for AIPMT 2014 based on NEET 2013 pattern, since the same syllabus is prescribed by CBSE.
What about the other Medical Entrance Exams in 2014:
NEET was supposed to replace all other medical colleges in India and therefore many state level and individual medical institute level exams were not conducted in 2013. But with the recent development, those exams are going to come back in 2014 and hence you should be ready for the same.
AIPMT 2014 Application Form Dates
CBSE as of now has only issued the curtain raiser notification for AIPMT 2014 and is subsequently going to publish the full exam notification-cum-Information Brochure, in which you will get all important exam dates including the date of availability and submission of application forms.
However, going by the date trends of previous AIPMT exams, Application Form for AIPMT 2014 should be available in December/January (For AIPMT 2012, the forms were available from 26.12.2011 and last date of submission of form was 25.01.2012). You can visit CBSE official website for updates on AIPMT 2014.
I am also going to follow AIPMT 2014 closely as it evolves and therefore you can visit this blog for further information.
