India is a well-known country worldwide for its ever-developing healthcare sector, owing to a large number of young doctors joining its medical field every year. It is also one of the proud countries with a high population of medical aspirants dreaming of becoming successful medical practitioners. Every year, lakhs of Indian students sit for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) to try their luck in admission in the top medical colleges of India. However, the high NEET cutoff, fewer MBBS seats in India, and fierce competition drives away a significant majority of candidates from their dreams.
