According to Section 14 of the National Medical Commission Act, 2019, NEET (UG) must be administered as a standardized National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET UG) for undergraduate medical education admissions across all medical institutions, ensuring uniformity and fairness in the selection process.
