Students will get admission in the medical and dental colleges of Uttarakhand this year only through the National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET) and no state-level test will be held for the purpose, the state government said on Friday.

"Eighty five per cent of seats in medical colleges of the state are under the state quota whereas 50 per cent seats in dental colleges are under state quota," he said, adding the rest will be filled on the basis of all India quota.
The school syllabus in Uttarakhand is based on CBSE pattern and thus the students will not find it difficult to pass NEET, Mr Prakash added.
