The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducts the All India Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Entrance Examination. This entrance examination is conducted in two stages. Only those who clear the preliminary exam are eligible to sit for the AIPMT final exam. Presently 15% of the total seats in all medical and dental colleges run by the Union of India, state governments, municipal or other local authorities in India, except in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir, are reserved for candidates who qualify this examination.
After the Supreme Court of India scrapped NEET on 18th July 2013 following opposition from several states, AIPMT was re-introduced for medical and dental college admissions. But now, NEET is back! The Supreme Court on 28th April 2016 ordered the CBSE to hold National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) 2016-17 in two phases starting May 1, 2016
