I am a resident of West Bengal, but completed 7th to 12th from Tamil Nadu. What will be the state of eligibility for NEET 2025?

Hello Avilasha,

Your State of Eligibility for NEET 2025 depends on the state where you completed your 10+2 (Class 12) and your domicile :

1. West Bengal – If you have a domicile certificate of WB, you can apply under the state quota of West Bengal.
   
   
2. Tamil Nadu – Since you studied 7th to 12th in Tamil Nadu, you are also eligible for the state quota in Tamil Nadu, even without a domicile.
   
   Best Option:

You can choose either WB or TN for the 85% state quota seats , depending on which has better chances based on your NEET score and category.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

For NEET 2025, the state of eligibility is usually based on where a candidate has studied (Class 10 and 12) or their domicile. Since you completed Classes 7 to 12 in Tamil Nadu, you might qualify for Tamil Nadu’s state quota. However, if you possess a domicile certificate for West Bengal, you could also be eligible there. It is best to review the eligibility rules of both states and verify with the authorities before applying.

Your state of eligibility for NEET 2025 depends on the criteria set by the exam authorities. Generally:

1. Domicile-Based Eligibility: Since you are a resident of West Bengal, you might be eligible for the West Bengal state quota if you meet their domicile requirements (like residing for a certain period or having a domicile certificate).

2. Education-Based Eligibility: Since you completed 7th to 12th in Tamil Nadu, you may also qualify for the Tamil Nadu state quota under the "studied in the state" criteria.

You should check the official NEET eligibility criteria for both states to confirm which state quota you can apply for.

If you are a resident of West Bengal but completed your schooling from 7th to 12th in Tamil Nadu, you will be eligible for the "All India Quota" seats in NEET 2025 , not the West Bengal state quota, as you did not complete your 10th and 12th standard education from West Bengal which is required to claim the state quota.

To be eligible for a state quota in NEET, you must have completed your 10th and 12th standard education from that state.

Since you are a resident of West Bengal, you can still apply for NEET and compete for seats under the All India Quota.
