Hi


Yes , you are eligible for appearing in NEET 2022 examination.

This is because,

There is no rule which says that if you have done BDS  or any graduation you become ineligible for Neet examination, as to be eligible for neet what all one needs is :

* to must  pass 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

    Begin a career in Medical and Allied Sciences. Admissions Open for

    Apply to JSS University Mysore 2025

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

So, if you fulfill this requirement  as per your category then you are definitely eligible for Neet 2022 examination ,even if you have completed BDS and after qualifying Neet examination you can get admission in medical colleges for MBBS etc on the basis of rank or marks obtained by you in NEET

Also,

* Earlier  , there was upper age limit of 25 years but since 2018 this case upper age limit is in the supreme Court  but until supreme court gives its judgement, there is no upper age limit for Neet examination as of now.
