Hello Aspirant,

Indeed, you can take NEET 2026 after giving an improvement exam in 2026. As per NEET eligibility criteria, a candidate needs to obtain a passing mark in qualifying examination science stream subjects i.e. Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English - in that exam by boards. For general category students, minimum qualifying percentage/aggregate in PCB was 50% aggregate. Now, since you mentioned you've obtained 44% in HSC, at this time you are not eligible - however, if you reappear for the qualifying examination in 2026 and obtain passing marks with qualifying percentage, the eligibility requirement will be fulfilled, and you can apply for NEET 2026.

Which Qualification Code Should You Use?

1. Use Code 01 if your improvement results are awaited at the time you are completing the form.
2. Use Code 02 if you have passed Class 12 with PCB and have any improvement results before you complete the application form.
