While the author gave all details pertaining to the NEET exam, he has not given any idea about making corrections on the details already submitted and accepted by the CBSE board. Since it is online application some candidates failed to read the rules and uploaded their photos without name and only date mentioned on that. However the applications were accepted and even confirmation came on the mobile. But the college authorities are telling that incomplete application would be rejected by CBSE and there is no clarification in this respect. Can the author throw some light on this ?

I agree with Mohan sir. As of now, there is no such correction notification from CBSE. I hope they will add correction link on the official site after the application filling process is over. After the correction link becomes active, I will add a paragraph about that link in this article.

This is an extremely useful and timely article. This article would help innumerable students who are going to appear in NEET in 2017. Not only the students of the current year, the article would benefit the aspirants of the next year also. The author has briefly but succinctly covered imprtant dates, eligibility conditions (especially the age-related conditions will be very helpful), procedure to applyonline, examination fee for all categories and the admission process after the declaration of results. The author has also mentioned the important books necessary for the examination.
I find the article very helpful. However, if the last year's (2016) cut-off marks for different categories would be indicated, it would be more useful for setting a target.
The author has also clarified that separate entrance examinations are held for admission in AIIMS, GIPMER and PGIMER.
I thank the author for this timely article.
