i am a commerce student can i write the NEET exam and can i get the medical seat
Yes — you can sit for NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) even if you took the Commerce stream in school, provided you meet the eligibility criteria set by the National Medical Commission (NMC) and your state/university. Key points and steps:
Eligibility criteria (core requirements)
-
Academic subjects: You must have completed Class 12 (or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology as core subjects. If you studied these subjects alongside Commerce and have them on your mark sheet or a recognised equivalent qualification, that satisfies the subject requirement.
Minimum marks:
-
General category: at least 50% aggregate in PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology) in Class 12 or equivalent.
-
OBC-NCL/SC/ST/PwD: relaxed percentages (40% for PwD general; 45% for reserved categories—check latest NMC notification for exact thresholds).
