Do NEET toppers get money?

Yes, NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) toppers often get cash prizes and other gifts from coaching centers, and sometimes from state governments or different organizations. These prizes are given to celebrate their success and motivate them to continue doing well in their studies.

1️⃣ NEET Itself Doesn’t Give Prize Money

• The NEET exam (conducted by NTA) does not officially give any cash prize or monetary reward to toppers.
• It is purely an entrance exam for admission into medical colleges (MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, etc.).

2️⃣ Government Scholarships (After NEET)

• After qualifying NEET, some government scholarships may be available based on:
• Category (SC/ST/OBC/EWS)
• Family income
• State-specific schemes
• Merit scholarships
• These are not "NEET topper prizes" but financial support during medical studies.

3️⃣ Coaching Institutes & Private Rewards

• Many coaching centers reward their toppers:
• Cash prizes
• Cars/bikes
• Scholarships
• Sponsorships for further studies

These are part of their internal reward system for top-performing students, often for promotional reasons.

4️⃣ State Governments (Rare Cases)
In some states, top NEET scorers may get:

• Felicitation by CM/government
• Financial rewards
• This depends on state policies and is not uniform across India.
