According to Section 14 of the said act communicates that there will be a common and uniform NEET exam for admission to undergraduate medical courses in all medical colleges, including those that come under any other law.

Also, as per NMC Act, 2019, the AIIMS and JIPMER medical entrance exams have been omitted and instead admission to the only two colleges that were previously allowed to hold their entrance exams, will now also come under NEET.
