Entrance exams and NEET
- YOS is Turkey's own entrance exam for international students and most public universities require it.
- Several private universities accept SAT scores instead, and some run their own entrance tests.
- Turkish medical universities do not ask for NEET at the admission stage. It matters only if you later plan to take FMGE or NExT to practise in India.
- Some universities use their own English proficiency test instead of IELTS or TOEFL.
My Advice
Requirements differ between public and private universities, so check the exact marks, exam and English rule for each one on your shortlist before applying. Keep your transcripts and passport copy ready from the start.
