Hello Aspirant,

See TMA stands for Tutor Marked Assessment which carries 20% of the weightage in External Examination. Though these will be shown separately on the marks list but they are to be added in the marks obtained in Theory and practical and so they will be considered in determining NEET Eligibility criteria which means that TMA marks are valid and considered for NEET .

As per the eligibility criteria for NEET the candidate must have passed his/her class 12th with Physics, Chemistry and Biology as mandatory subjects with minimum aggregate of 50% for Unreserved category 40% for OBC/SC/ST and 45% for PwD. Also note that the English subject should also be there in the curriculum because it will be considered as core subject.

So as you have mentioned that you got total 55% marks in class 12th then you are eligible if and only if you have also secured the 55% aggregate marks in Physics, Chemistry and Biology now if the result includes the TMA marks then also you are eligible because your total result of PCB is considered while determining the eligibility criteria of NEET.

Also note that for NEET 2021 it will be valid because as you have mentioned that you have appeared through NIOS and the case is in Hon'ble Supreme Court so if meanwhile the SC passes an order on it then it will be implemented from very next session.
