Biology isn't a additional subject but a major subject of NEET with physics and chemistry.
Biology is for 300 marks in NEET whereas chemistry and physics both are for 180 marks each.
The eligiblity for NEET requires 60%aggregate in PCBE in 12th standard boards and a decent score of 540+ to fetch you a government seat at a good government medical college.

Hope this helps.

Hi

You don't need to worry at all dear as Biology as an additional subject is allowed in NEET examination.

so you are eligible for Neet 2021 examination even if you have Biology as an additional subject provided

you must have passed in English and in both the theory and practical  of PCB i.e Physics, Chemistry and Biology with at least  50  % in aggregate of PCB ( in theory +practical) in 12th examination  if belong to general category , or   at least  40%  in aggregate of PCB if belongs to  Obc/ Sc /st
