NEET vs. MCAT: Hardest Medical Entrance Exam? 

If you're studying for the MCAT, check out my video on some study advice: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y1u8WwIz5Sg.html

In India, a 16-17yr okd is fighting for his/her dreams... Appreciable🌼

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.

I'm Indian If you get a good score in neet there is still caste reservation which benefits students who has lower marks. And i don't know much about neet but it is hard and I don't like the education system in India. They basically focus on books!!

As being an indian who lived in the US for 10 years I dreamed to become a doctor Last year, When my family came back to India I heared abut neet exam it is just too hard I am trying for Penn State BS MD program with Thomas Jefferson University I think MCAT is for those who want to study medicine in the US And neet is for those who want to study medicine in India

Hey I just recently found out our channel and it’s great for medical students like me and thanks for providing such an knowledge video😀😀

No bro you need 600+ to get non prestigious college 😂😂 for good you nee more😭😭😭

well there's this absurd thing called "reservation" in India, where some people get into the most prestigious colleges with a score of 400 while some people dont even get a seat with 620 marks

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.

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

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.

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.

Hey Aravind !! Loved the way explained ✨ Thanks for the info bro 👍

Loved your content and research on NEET and MCAT and provided almost unbiased opinion. Also a NEET aspirant here. 👍

not 1.5 its 2.4 mill students going to give this exam ......i am one of them my mock test are going good....please pray for me .....thank you

But neet is easier nowadays bcaz of #PW # just do hard work with full Josh nd Carry on while u not fix your mbbs seat💪💪💪❣️ TQ alakh sir🙏❣️

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 .

This is an appreciation comment: I've already left 2 comments on you channel considering i just came to your account accidentally 10-15 mins ago and i must appreciate your work/ energy. I'm pretty sure your channel will flourish very much , content's just dope ❤️

Hey I'm new to your Channel. just so you know i loved the way you explained the topic also i was impressed how you respected both the exams cus yeah both are difficult in there own way. And if you don't mind me asking which college/university are you in?

I have my Neet after 45 days ! I am so nervous! 1.87 million aspirants this year , nearly 20,000 general category seats .. God give me strength!

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.

This is one the best video I have watched today, a wonderful channel . SUBBED and liked ! a fellow creator ~~

I’m your 900th sub les go

Well neet has less than 2% acceptance rate, 2.5 million students sat for the exam and only 50k are selected........

You need 620+ to get a college( any college like cutoff ) 670+ for good prestigious college! Also there is a reservation system which makes it harder for general category students more.

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.

Randomly found your channel but your content is dope. I have to say that. But there is one thing you forgot to mention which is the casting system of India. I mean these system does not make any sense. I am a NEET aspirant. And sometimes it feels like giving up. But I have to make through this to become a veterinarian.

Hey! First of all great content! I am international student in Canada, soon will-be taking undergrad. I was wondering where did you get these mock tests paper of mcat?! Can you please let me know. Thank you!

Sir Which books we should read for MCAT Please make a video of Books

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 😥

Hey..!! I really liked your video..💯😍 I just wanted to enquire that if I did my mbbs in India than can I join usa medical universities by usmle or MCAT instead of doing Indian pg??..🙏 If I came from middle class how much would it cost..?? 🙄

Never understood why ppl are so humble. Mcat is obviously the hardest entrance exam and becoming a doctor in the US is the hardest

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

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.

Your accent is too good brother and i have to ask how did you learnt it

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).

As a person who has cracked the neet exam.. over the years the scores have sky rocketed.. out of 720 to get into good institution you may need somewhere around 670+.. which really owe to the increase in students.. and quite frankly the exam has become more or less.. sharp and easy

MCAT is much harder ig because it focuses on your IQ level , your critical thinking level, your inteligency level ig in this exam you should have sharp mind whereas in NEET it is purely based on your root memorisation skill , theory and concepts on fingertips. It is not mandatory that u r intelligent then only u can clear neet if u r not as sharp minded u can also clear it coz it wants hardworking and consistent in studying like 8+hrs ... just the same difference like neet and iitjee difficulty level

In neet qn pattern has been changed from 2023 more statement wise qn more assertion type qn and ultimately ultra pro mx level competition 😢

Hello! What was your MCAT score? Did you appear for SAT and AP exams? Are you in USA currently persuing pre med?

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.)

I like your commentary. In india there is no upper age limit now to do medicine. Let me know is it the same case in USA.

Hey! I hope you are doing great I aspire to go to Harvard med school . I am currently in grade 12 . What should the best shot for me to give neet or to do my undergrad from Canada or USA and to take mcat there?

I am from India Currently in 2nd year of my graduation of Applied Life sciences Am I eligible to give MCAT ? I ll be finishing my graduation in 2023 And how do I prepare for it sample. question papers and materials ??

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

It's now 2.2 million student take neet exam.

Hey bro can u guide me or suggest me the process what I have to do or how should I start from 11th....for mcat exam?

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.

Hey, I was just wondering, since you took the MCAT and went over the neet questions, at a personal level being in the US education system, which exam did you think was more challenging based on the academic upfront? Like wrt the syllabus? ( ps: not comparing the difficulty level of admission process in any countries, just based on pure academia/sci knowledge)

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?

Have you done with your BS course? Have you joined any coaching for MCAT or universities were preparing you for MCAT?

Hey I'm indian and also neet aspirant...cutoff is not same for everyone I mean it depends on the categories like lower caste people can get college with 480 or 500 marks but general category needs 610+ to hardly get a seat

Everything aside how do you edit your videos, I mean what software

Hey arvind recently I knew about MCAT I don't know much about it will u plz tell the fees of mbbs after clearing it?

👍👍👍

My dream of getting into the medical school is ruined due to my poor performance in the MCAT exam

Hi i am from india and i want to do md is usa so can u plz tell details about mcat exam currently now i am in degree final year planing to go usa next year

5:50 minimum of 600 score is required for mbbs... U can still get a college with 500 score but u won't get mbbs, u can take BDS (dental) then

can u please send a link where i can find past year mcat que for mbbs admission

Are indian mbbs degrees accepted for mcat Or do we still need to have a ug degree from us itself?

Hey arvind brother I just want to ask how sit in mcat exam because I don't know about the procedure about MCAT exam and I want to give it this year Only please help me out and also tell me more About MCAT exam

No bro we need to score 610+ to get minimalistic now ... mark my words ... data for neet at internet is old

Actualrch this year it's 2.1 million

Mbbs in India and pg in harvard how to do plz tell me

Arvind avargal can you suggest any books for mdcat biochemistry preparation.

NEET is very memory based and questions confuse you a lot also the time pressure is massive, i gave MCAT too for fun, i found it pretty easy as compared to NEET but that's just my perspective.🚶🏻‍♀️

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

I am a 12th passsout student from india can you suggest how I can get into medical colleges in USA and which exams I need to take ....

I did my 2 years Diploma in Chemical laboratory..after my High school Am i still eligible to study medicine..? Because its says undergraduate degree require..so confused now

Since you got 5 right and 5 wrong, it does not mean you got 5/10 but actually 0/10 since every wrong answer means -1. So yes

How can we give mcat in india what are the requirements

How can i get into pre med collage ??

Bro your all points are right in the perspective of MCAT exam .....But The indian NEET exam is more harder than MCAT because it gives more time and other material and other stuff provided to yours but in your preparation plese come to INDIA (i.e BHARAT ) for giving indian medical exam NEET you will feel the toughness of exam.... Because iam the aspirat for neet exam i know the competation over here .... welcome to india 🙏🙏

I am from India .Please tell if I am eligible to give MCAT exam if I have an mbbs degree or I can give MCAT exam with any other undergraduate degree . If there is such undergraduate degree other mbbs in India please name some 🙏

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.

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

Can please explain about ucat exam for Indian student And process

Hi can I give mcat just after high school to get into med school directly in USA (I’m from India)?

21 lakh not 15 lakh students in neet

Hey..I am a NEET aspirant for 2023.. if I get into some prestigious college and complete my mbbs , can I go to abroad?..

2.3 million students has given the NEET exam in 2023

Moreover u didn't mentioned tht MCAT uh can book dates on your own and can appear twice a year and in India it's jst one tym exam a year due to any reason u didn't get chance and u lost tht one year moreover the pressure and taunts?? The stress tht Indian student's hv to go through

Hey... can you say the test center in India for mcat

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

Hello Dr, is there MCAT exam centres in India?

can BA psychology graduate opt for MD programme via MCAT?

can I give MCAT online? Is any test centre present in India?

Physics ,Chemistry and english is so tough in Mdcat 😳😳😳😳

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

🍀

From which book should we study mcat ?

99.80+ percentile= prestigious college 99+ percentile= gov college 98.80 percentile= minimum chance for mbbs prefer bds or others >97 percentile= better luck next time

Is the syllabus for neet and mcat same?

Aren't we eligible right after 12th for appearing in mcat?

I m crying

And 80k seats are joke reality 17k seats rest dentists, vet, and rest private institutes so it's different

Hey bro I wanna ask do we still Need to qualify MCAT exam even if I had already qualified NEET entrance exam??? Plzzz response

☘️

But the worst thing about neet is #reservation😢. After 75 years but still reservation system 😢 . What about obs, general students?

You need atleadt 650 to get into a medical school. And also 2020 neet paper was the easiest neet paper in the hiatroy
