Punjab's NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) counseling process plays a pivotal role in facilitating admissions to undergraduate medical and dental courses across various government and private institutions in the state. The counseling process is typically organized by the Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS) or a designated authority.
Candidates who have qualified the NEET exam are required to register for the Punjab NEET counseling online, where they provide their preferences for colleges and courses. Based on their NEET scores and choices, candidates are then allotted seats in different medical and dental colleges.
