I have already passed my 12th PCMB through Goa board in 2025. I want to give neet 2027 but my PCB score is low as general category so I was thinking to give Biology improvement through NIOS. Will it make me eligible for neet and then mbbs or any medicine counselling and state board take 2 marksheet?
Hello Student,
Yes, you can improve Biology through NIOS and appear for NEET 2027 provided you meet the latest NMC eligibility criteria. As per the current NMC clarification, studying Biology as an additional subject through NIOS is permitted for NEET if completed through an authorised Institution. During counselling, candidates with the main Board marksheet and NIOS additional subject marksheet are generally accepted, subject to the prevailing NMC and counselling authority rules.
Before applying, do verify the NEET 2027 Information bulletin and your state counselling guidelines, as eligibility rules are finalized for each admission cycle.
Wishing you all the very best for your improvement exam and NEET preparation; you still have a great opportunity to achieve your MBBS dreams.
