Hi

Neet 2021 eligibility  criteria says that, to be eligible  you must  should have passed 12th board examination with physics, chemistry ,biology and English  as core subjects and must have got at least  50  % in aggregate of PCB  i.e Physics, Chemistry and Biology ( in theory +practical) in 12th examination  if belongs to general category , or   at least  40%  in aggregate of PCB if belongs to  Obc/ Sc /st category.

Also, the students with  Biology as an additional subject are eligible for Neet examination.

But ,
it is unsure that you will be eligible by just passing your Biology later on after 12th because as per eligibility criteria students who have passed their 12th board examination with biology as additional subject are eligible and additional subject is nothing but the 6th subject in your board examination.

So, if you want to be eligible for Neet ,   will suggest you to give NIOS on demand examination for 12th  with all the  5 subjects including physics ,chemistry biology and English and for the 5th subject you can choose any subject of your choice like Hindi ,Sanskrit, maths or any other subject and after passing,  if you fulfill the aforesaid percentage requirement in PCB  then you will be eligible and can get admission in MBBS on the basis of marks obtained by you in the Neet examination

Hello...
If you want to be a medical Doctor, drop out of the engineering course if you have all the minimum qualifications required for writing the medical entrance exam. If yes, work hard.. attempt the next entrance examination, score a good rank and join the course. Good luck. :-)

Fulfill the eligibility criteria i.e intermediate with PCB subject you can write entrance exam and if you cross a score seat it yours.

Hope this helps you!
Regards!
