Hi

Non medical science stream students are those students who don't have Biology/biotechnology in their 10+2 and students without biology/biotechnology in 10+2 are not eligible for Neet examination and thus cannot give it.

This is because,

It is mandatory to have studied Biology for biotechnology in 10 + 2 as  Neet 2021 eligibility criteria says that to be eligible you must be either appearing for 12th board examination or should have passed 12th board examination with physics, chemistry , biology/biotechnology and English and must have got:-

  • at least  50  % in aggregate of PCB  i.e Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology  in 12th examination  if belongs to general category

  • at least  40%  in aggregate of PCB if belongs to  Obc/ Sc /st category

  • at least 45 % in aggregate of PCB in case of pwd candidates to be eligible.

Also,

* to be eligible for neet 2021 one has to be at least 17 years old or more by 31st December 2021

* There is no upper age limit for Neet 2021

* There's no limit for the maximum number of attempts/times one can appear in NEET.
