Yes, of course you can.

Without any doubt just go for it.

 I remember, one of my school senior had pcmb( physics chemistry maths bio). Fortunately because of the pcm interest of him, he was good in physics and chemistry , which led him to score great in aipmt and he got one of the great college in country.

What I want to say is, you have pretty good chances in NEET, as usually students with pcmb are better in physics and chemistry than students with pcb.

Yes you can. But for that you have to score 50% in each physics chemistry and biology in board exam. Read those subjects thoroughly and practice mcqs. Good luck.

Hey Puja!

Yes, you are eligible to attempt NEET provided you pass in all subjects for your Board exams and you attain 50% in PCB and English.

Hope this answers your question!

Yes you can appear in neet exam as pcb along with engish is a compulsory criteria for the same. 

Hie Pooja,

The NEET Eligibility criteria is as follows:-

Candidates need to make sure that they fulfil the NEET eligibility criteria as provided in the following points:

He/She must be an Indian citizen.

Candidates must have passed 12thwith Physics, Chemistry, Biology / Biotechnology (PCB).

Moreover, he/she must have secured at least 50% marks (40% for the reserved category) at the higher secondary level (12th).

Based on the above, you are most definitely elligible to answer NEET. It doesn't matter which board you hail from as long as you have answered PCB for your 12th boards. Practise questions, objective type every single day. Most importantly, clear your concepts very, from the very beginning. You don't understand something, go back to your text, watch videos, approach a teacher, senior or a friend, whatever that can help you achieve your goals. Be diligent and work smart. I wish you all the very best!
