Hello there,

Yes, you are eligible to appear for the NEET UG exam while pursuing BMLT .

  • Qualification: You must have passed 12th with PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology) with the required percentage (40% for SC/ST/OBC, 50% for General).

  • Age: You must be at least 17 years old by 31st December of the admission year . There is no upper age limit .
