Hello Aspirant,

No ARTS students are not eligible for NEET UG because

To appear in NEET UG you need to satisfy some eligibility conditions :-

For 10+2 or equivalent :-

>>>>> You need to pass separately in theory as well as in practical of PCB.

>>>>> If you belongs to General/UR category then your aggregate of PCB (Theory + Practical) should be equal to or more than 50%(40% for SC/ST/OBC and 45% for PwD).

>>>>> You should be pass in English subject as well.

And ARTS student do not have their subjects as PCB, so you are not eligible to apply for NEET UG. If you somehow pass the examinations for PCB and English from NIOS then you can appear for NEET UG.
