Hello,


First of all I would like to tell you that qualifying the NEET examinations mandatory for everyone who wishes to pursue MBBS course be it in India or in Abroad.


------- Do if you wish to pursue MBBS course from Abroad, you still have to appear in the NEET Examination and Qualify it.


------ The complete details for the NEET 2022 will be released in the official information bulletin released by National Testing Agency NTA soon.


------ Following is the academic criteria a candidate has to fulfill to be eligible to write the NEET examination.


• Aspirant Must have passed 10+2 or equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English as core subjects from a recognized board. Class 12 or equivalent appearing aspirants are also eligible to apply for NEET.

• The class 12 percentage required for NEET 2022 exam is separate for each category and can be listed as under. NEET eligibility marks in class 12 to be considered are aggregate marks only for PCB subjects

• UR - 50%,

• OBC/SC/ST - 40%,

• PWD - 45%


AGE WISE eligibility criteria is candidates must have completed 17 years as on December 31, 2022.

There is no upper age limit till the Supreme Court passes its judgment on it.


--------- From the aforementioned data it is very clear that you won't be eligible to write the NEET Examination since you don't have aggregate 50% in PCB. So, if you are determined to pursue MBBS then the choice left for you is to give the XII Board Exams again and get qualifying marks in it. You can appear for improvement examination if you have done your XII last year.
