Hi


I am extremely sorry to tell you dear but you cannot get a seat in a medical college as you  are not eligible for Neet examination, irrespective of your marks in neet.

This is because,

To be eligible for Neet you must pass individually in both theory and practical examination in physics chemistry and Biology but   you have failed in physics theory , and when you fail in theory , you fail in that subject i. e you have failed in physics and thus, failed to fulfil the very criteria of passing physics in order to be eligible in neet . So, you are not eligible for neet examination as to be eligible you should have passed in both theory and practical examination .

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

Apply to Emversity Allied Health Sciences programs

For your reference,

Neet eligibility criteria is provided below:-

To be eligible one needs to  pass 12th board examination with PCB i. e physics, chemistry,biology/biotechnology and English, should have passed both the  practical and theory examination individually  in PCB 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

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


-----------)  Age limit :-

  • Lower age limit:- to be eligible for neet  one has to be at least 17 years old or more by 31st December in the year of appearing for the examination .

  • Upper age limit :-The upper age limit  is 25 years as on the date of neet examination and there's relaxation of 5 years for obc ncl/SC/ST /PwBD students means upper age limit is 30 years for these categories.

†††† But since 2018, the case of upper age limit is pending in supreme court , and so there's no upper age limit as of now until supreme court gives its judgement over it.
