NEET 2018: Gujarat students can get into MBBS by changing the course

Students who could not get the admission into MBBS course in their first trial still have a chance of getting into MBBS if they can score the required marks in the second attempt of the NEET exam. Gujarat government has officially made this announcement and now students wont have to settle for other course. The norms were changed in the favor of the bright students who could not get admission into the MBBS course in their first attempt of the NEET exam. Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel said “Several students can not secure admission to the MBBS course in the first trial for various reasons, such as a death in the family or illness at the time of NEET. As a result, such bright students have to settle for other streams, such as Homoeopathy or Ayurveda”. As per the existing rules once students are allotted a branch in medicine they cannot switch to another branch. “We have decided to change this rule. Now, students admitted into other medical streams can shift to MBBS by appearing again for the NEET, provided they get required merit in the second trial,” said Patel, who also handles the Medical Education portfolio. The students, however will be required to pay the remaining fee of the existing course if they switch the course.
