Hello,
Thank you for your question!
Yes, many medical colleges do accept mark sheets from different boards like CBSE and NIOS, as long as you meet the NEET eligibility criteria. In your case, even though you passed Chemistry through NIOS, and the other subjects like Biology, English, and Physical Education through CBSE, you have a valid combination of 5 subjects, which is required. The NMC recognizes NIOS, so you're eligible for NEET and MBBS admissions, provided:
- You have passed Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English individually
- You meet the minimum required marks (50% for general, 40% for reserved)
Always carry both mark sheets and explain if asked during counselling. This situation is not rare, and many students go through NIOS for improvement and still get into medical colleges successfully.
All the best!
Hello Shreyas Raj,
Yes, generally medical colleges accept two marksheets (CBSE + NIOS), provided the candidate fulfills eligibility criteria set by NMC (National Medical Commission). For example if you failed in Chemistry in CBSE and then passed Chemistry from NIOS, while passing the sufficient subjects required, (Biology, English, Physics/PE etc) for CBSE, if you satisfy the requirements mentioned below, you will be accepted.
- You have studied and passed Physics Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English as core subjects.
- You satisfy minimum qualifying marks (50% for General and 40% for SC/ST/OBC) in the PCB aggregate according to NMC)
- You have cleared NEET, satisfying required cut off.
