As demand for healthcare professionals particularly in allied health sciences increases, Indian students are no longer relying on conventional entry points in healthcare services such as NEET. Global Allied Healthcare Entrance Test (GAHET 2025) has become the first country-wide entrance exam of India in the field of allied health courses. But what is the comparison between GAHET and NEET and which one is better and preferable to Gen Z medical aspirants? 

 

What is the NEET entrance exam?

NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) is the most popular entrance exam for undergraduate medical (MBBS), dental (BDS), and some allied health courses in India. It is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The subjects covered in this exam are Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. To be eligible for taking NEET, students must have passed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English. Usually this medical entrance exam is conducted in May every year and the application is through the NTA NEET portal, 

 

What is GAHET?

GAHET (Global Allied Healthcare Entrance Test) is a pioneering entrance exam designed specifically for students aspiring to build careers in allied health sciences. Unlike NEET, which is primarily for MBBS and BDS admissions, GAHET opens doors to a variety of paramedical and allied health courses. The subjects covered in this exam are Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English. To be eligible for taking this paramedical entrance exam, the candidates must meet criteria set by the conducting authority (details on gahet.org ). The exam can be given any month, as per one's convenience.

Why GAHET is best for GenZ paramedical aspirants?

Global Allied Healthcare Entrance Exam is a 100% online exam with no negative marking. It is suitable for all the genZ who have a different view of exams. Through this paramedical entrance exam students get easy admission in the top Private paramedical  colleges. All the aspirants who wish to pursue a career in healthcare but do not wish to be a doctor or a nurse,  there are many other opportunities in healthcare that pay much better and hold similar significance as that of a doctor and a nurse. To pursue such a career, students don’t need to take NEET, they can simply opt for a decent entrance test like GAHET if they believe they have all the skills/ potential and NEET didn’t go well for them or NEET is not something they are willing to take.  

 

Reasons to Give GAHET over NEET

  1. Contemporary, Student-Centered Practice: 

GAHET has been developed with a view of the current students. The exam pattern is not as rote as before, but tests all round aptitude, ability and English language proficient-abilities which are so important in any global healthcare career.

 

  1. Broader Career Choices:

NEET is a gateway to MBBS and BDS but GAHET is a goldmine of opportunities to explore in the world of allied health sciences such as doors of physiotherapy, medical lab technology, radiology and so on. The demand for these careers in India and abroad is high.

 

  1. Adaptable and open Procedure: 

GAHET application and examination is straightforward and clear, and all the information is posted on the gahet.org. The exam is done through several centres and it is easily reached by students around the country.

 

  1. Employability-focus: 

The skills required to work in the contemporary healthcare sector are reflected in GAHET syllabus and evaluation style. This has made the students qualified in GAHET more industrial-ready and employable.

 

  1. National First Allied Health Exam: 

The first of its kind is a national-level entrance in the allied health field called GAHET set in India, specialised and focused; thus, it should be preferred by a student who knows their career choice.

 

There is also a paramedical entrance test in AIIMS which is very competitive and is restricted to AIIMS campuses. The date of examination AIIMS Paramedical 2025 will be posted on the official site of AIIMS. But GAHET has a wider selection of allied health colleges which offer a wider variety of colleges in which students can select.

 

So Which Entrance Exam to take?

  1. If you dream of becoming a doctor (MBBS/BDS): NEET is mandatory.
  2. If you want a rewarding career in allied health sciences: GAHET is the best route, offering flexibility, modern assessment, and a Gen Z-friendly approach.
  3. If you want to keep all options open: You can appear for both exams, as their schedules usually don’t clash

 

The medical field is advanced and the entrance tests are too. GAHET 2025 is nothing short of an alternative method to NEET and a movement towards the more accessible and appealing allied health careers among the young population of India. Are you a Gen Z professional who wants to have a dynamic and skill-based healthcare career that is future-ready? There could not be a better option other than GAHET.

As Generation Z (Gen Z) becomes a prominent part of the workforce, employers are being challenged to adapt to their distinct characteristics and expectations. Born between 1997 and 2012, this tech-savvy, pragmatic, and inclusive generation is reshaping workplace dynamics. Experts emphasise that organisations must focus on fostering essential skills, cultural competence, and sensitivity to effectively integrate Gen Z employees.  

Gen Z is characterised by their resilience and pragmatism, shaped by experiences of economic uncertainty and social change. They are notably diverse and inclusive, with a significant proportion identifying as LGBTQ+, people of colour, or individuals with disabilities. Their natural affinity for technology has made them proficient in digital tools and platforms, positioning them as critical drivers of digital transformation.  

To excel in today’s workforce, Gen Z employees must develop:  

  • Digital Literacy: Proficiency in leveraging digital tools and platforms.  
  • Communication Skills: Effective engagement with diverse colleagues and clients.  
  • Problem-Solving Abilities: Critical and creative thinking to tackle complex challenges.  
  • Collaboration: Building strong teamwork across cultural boundaries.   

Creating an inclusive and equitable environment is crucial to engaging Gen Z employees. Employers must:  

  • Embrace diversity by valuing different perspectives and promoting equity.  
  • Foster cultural awareness to understand and respect differences.  
  • Encourage empathy through active listening and open communication.  

Adapting to Gen Z’s preferences involves proactive measures, such as:  

  • Mentorship Programs: Pairing Gen Z employees with experienced mentors.  
  • Focused Training: Enhancing digital literacy, communication, and problem-solving skills.  
  • Flexible Work Options: Accommodating preferences for remote work and work-life balance.  

With Gen Z expected to comprise 30% of India’s workforce by 2025, their emphasis on diversity and flexibility will drive innovation and creativity. Employers who prioritise engagement strategies can enhance retention, attract top talent, and gain a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving market.  

Key Statistics  

  • 75% of Gen Z employees prioritise diversity and inclusion in the workplace.  
  • 60% prefer flexible work arrangements.  
  • By 2025, Gen Z will constitute 30% of India’s workforce.  

Embracing the strengths of Gen Z is not just a necessity but a pathway to thriving in the digital age.
