Jordan, you haven't mentioned the subjects you studied in your 12th.This is important because to be eligible for NEET, you should have completed your 12th, passed in all subjects and secure a minimum aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. It is 50% for General Category, 45% for PWD and 40% for OBC,SC,ST. Now if you belong to OBC Category, the Category you belong to should be also listed in the Central OBC list. Or else you will be considered as General Category and so you have to secure a minimum aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. This 50% is inclusive of the Theory and Practical marks scored in Physics, Chemistry and Biology collectively. You needn't score 50% in Physics, 50% in Chemistry and 50% in Biology separately. You need an aggregate of 50% or 40% depending on your Category as an aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. And along with Physics, Chemistry and Biology, you should also have studied English as one of the core subjects in your 12th.And Biology as an additional subject is allowed if you have studied Biology along with your regular subjects but Biology was an additional subject. You might not be eligible for NEET if you haven't studied Biology in your 12th.

The subjects which i studied in 12th are english, maths, physics, chemistry and computer. I completed my 12 th grade in 2020. And i have an average of 92 percent in maths, physics and chemistry. But i am willing to do medicine, so is there any way for me to pursue medicine ?
