Hi

No, You are not eligible for Neet examination being a pcm student if you don't have biology/ biotechnology

This is because,

To be eligible for Neet , it is mandatory to have biology/ biotechnology in 12th

For your reference,

Here's the eligibility criteria for NEET :-

-----------) Qualification required :-As per Neet eligibility to be eligible you must be either appearing for 12th board examination  or should   have passed 12th board examination with physics, chemistry ,biology/biotechnology and English as core subject.

†††Important Note :- Students with Biology as an additional subject are also provisionally eligible for neet until Supreme Court gives its judgement over it.

-----------)  Percentage required :- You must get

  • 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 st/Obc/ Sc

  • 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  by 31st in the year of appearing for the examination

  • Upper age limit :-There's no upper age limit for NEET. Earlier there was upper age limit  of 25 years which was pending in supreme court, on 9th march 2022 NMC in its notice has removed upper age limit.

>>>>>>>>>> Still want to be eligible for NEET?

If yes, then you can pass biology as an additional subject from NIOS or any recognised board and then you would become eligible as  Students with Biology as an additional subject are also provisionally eligible for   neet until Supreme Court gives its judgement but yes meanwhile if judgement comes then eligibility of biology additional students will depend upon the outcome of judgement.
