For MBBS in USA for Indian students, NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) is not a mandatory requirement. Unlike India, where NEET is a prerequisite for medical admissions, the USA follows a different academic pathway for medical education.

Medical education in the USA begins after completing a pre-medical undergraduate degree, typically in fields like Biology or Chemistry. Indian students aspiring to pursue MBBS (MD equivalent) in the USA are not required to qualify NEET for admission. Instead, they must focus on obtaining a strong GPA in their pre-med degree and preparing for the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test), which is the primary criterion for medical school applications in the USA.

However, if an Indian student wishes to return to India and practice medicine after completing their MD in the USA, NEET qualification may be necessary to comply with the Medical Council of India's (MCI) screening requirements.

While NEET is not essential for admission to medical schools in the USA, Indian students must meet other eligibility requirements, including English language proficiency and securing an F-1 student visa. This makes the USA an attractive option for students seeking advanced medical education with global recognition.
