Conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test is the single entrance exam for MBBS, BDS and allied undergraduate medical programmes in all colleges across the country. Students can write it after completing Class 12. In 2021, over 15.4 lakh candidates appeared for the text.

NEET Coaching Survey

The online survey was conducted by Careers360 from February 18 till March 16, 2022. In total 717 students responded to the survey. Of them, 42 percent – or 315 – didn't get admission in any medical college and did not answer further queries.

Excluding name and basic details, the survey contained five questions and 14 sub-questions based on the response.

The questions included college name, admission year, Class 12 graduation year, school board and the method of preparing for NEET – online, offline, both, or self study. Almost all were multiple-choice questions, offering a list of options for the respondent to choose from as answer. Some offered an “Other” option and respondents were given the space to explain but few exercised it.

Based on the responses, further questions on coaching methods, duration of classes, time of joining, fee, hours of study in a day, quality of study material and teaching, frequency of tests and more were asked.

Of those who did get admission in medicine, 59 percent took admission in 2020-21 and the rest in 2021-22.

NEET Coaching And Self-Study

When asked why the students opted for online coaching over offline, most said they found it more accessible as well as affordable.

The table below shows the distribution of survey respondents by how they prepared. This was calculated out of the total number of students who responded to this question in the survey.

11 AIIMS students who responded to the question chose offline coaching as their mode of preparation; three studied on their own; two opted for online coaching and just one went for both online and offline classes.
