Hi there! It's understandable to be concerned about your eligibility for the NEET exam given your subject choices in class 11th. Let's clarify the requirements.
The basic eligibility criteria for appearing in the NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) exam primarily revolves around your performance in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (which includes Botany and Zoology) in your Class 12th examination.
According to the current regulations set by the National Medical Commission (NMC), which governs medical education in India, to be eligible for NEET-UG, you must have passed your Class 12th or equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English as core subjects. You also need to have obtained a certain minimum percentage of marks in these subjects taken together. For the general category, this is usually 50%, while it's lower for reserved categories.
The fact that you did not have Physics and Maths in your Class 11th generally does not disqualify you from appearing for NEET, provided you have Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (or Biotechnology) as subjects in your Class 12th. The eligibility criteria focus on your performance in the qualifying Class 12th examination.
So, if you have chosen Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (or Biotechnology) along with English as your subjects in Class 12th and you meet the required minimum percentage in your board exams, you should be eligible to appear for the NEET exam.
However, it's crucial to ensure that you are indeed studying Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (or Biotechnology) in your Class 12th. If you have opted for different subjects in Class 12th as well, then you might not meet the eligibility criteria for NEET-UG.
To be absolutely certain and to get the most accurate information, it's always best to refer to the official NEET Information Bulletin that is released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) each year before the exam. This bulletin contains all the detailed eligibility criteria, syllabus, exam pattern, and other important information. You can usually find this bulletin on the official NTA NEET website when the application process begins.
In summary, your subject choices in Class 11th are usually not the deciding factor for NEET eligibility. What matters more is having Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (or Biotechnology) in your Class 12th and meeting the required percentage criteria in your board examination. Make sure to check the official NEET Information Bulletin for the most up-to-date and accurate eligibility rules for NEET-UG 2025.

Based on the current NEET 2025 eligibility criteria and the general guidelines, here's how your situation would likely be considered:
The primary requirement for NEET eligibility concerning your Class 12th subjects is that you must have passed with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology as core subjects, along with English. The minimum percentage in PCB (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology taken together) is also a crucial factor, which is generally 50% for the unreserved category, 40% for OBC/SC/ST, and 45% for PwD candidates.
You mentioned scoring 51% in PCB with grace marks in Physics. Grace marks are generally considered part of your final score. If your total percentage in PCB is 51% after including the grace marks, you currently meet the minimum percentage requirement for the general category.
Regarding the "one sitting" guideline, this usually refers to passing the Class 12th or equivalent examination in one attempt. Appearing for a betterment exam in only one subject (Physics, in your case) after having passed the overall Class 12th examination is generally not considered a break from the "one sitting" rule for NEET eligibility. The purpose of betterment exams is to improve your score in specific subjects, and it's a provision offered by many boards.
You will be eligible for NEET if you appear for betterment in only Chemistry and pass with the required marks, as long as you meet the minimum aggregate of 50% in PCB for the general category (40% for reserved). No need to reappear in PCB and English.
A minimum of 55% of your total points must be in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB). You are qualified if you passed English and your PCB total (which includes Physics as your fourth subject) is equal to this. Your total score of 63% is adequate if PCB is higher than 55%. Verify your practical/theory pass status and PCB % to make sure you are eligible for the 2025 BSc Nursing admission examinations.
Hello,
If you fail in Physics but pass all other subjects, you may still get admission in BSc Botany , but it depends on the college or university rules .
Most colleges ask for a pass in all major science subjects like Biology, Chemistry, and sometimes Physics too. But since Botany is related more to Biology and Chemistry, some colleges may not count Physics as compulsory .
So, it is better to check the specific college's eligibility criteria before applying.
Hope it helps !
