Hello student ,

Yes you can aaply apply for neet if you have read Physics , chemistry and biology through NIOS as per by the latest verdict released by the court .  As NIOS is also an educational board just like CBSE & CISCE . So a candidate having nios certificate can apply for national level entrance exam conducted by the Center or CBSE, like JEE (Main & Advanced), CLAT and now NEET . That 's why don't worry you can apply for NEET .

Hope this will help you !
