i have only pcm in 12th, am i eligible for neet 2023?

Hi

No, you can not give NEET with PCM alone.

Biology is core subject for NEET examination and student is required to have basic knowledge about it, which is judged based on class 12th record.

If you wish to take part in NEET then you do have a option to give class 12the examination with PCB through NIOS.

NIOS(National institute for open schooling) is a government initiative to help students improve their score or change class 12th subjects.

Best of luck

Hi

You are not eligible for Neet examination being a pcm student if you don't have biology/ biotechnology

This is because,

To be eligible for Neet , it is mandatory to have biology/ biotechnology in 12th

For your reference,

Here's the eligibility criteria for NEET :-

-----------) Qualification required :-As per Neet eligibility to be eligible you must be either appearing for 12th board examination  or should   have passed 12th board examination with physics, chemistry , biology/biotechnology and English as core subject.

†††Important Note :- Students with Biology as an additional subject are also provisionally eligible for neet until Supreme Court gives its judgement over it.

-----------)  Percentage required :- You must get

• at least 50 % in aggregate of PCB i.e Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology in 12th examination if belongs to general category

• at least 40% in aggregate of PCB if belongs to st/Obc/ Sc

• at least 45 % in aggregate of PCB in case of pwd candidates to be eligible.

-----------)  Age limit :-

• Lower age limit:- to be eligible for neet  one has to be at least 17 years old or more by 31st December in the year of appearing for the examination .

• Upper age limit :-The upper age limit  is 25 years as on the date of neet examination and there's relaxation of 5 years for obc ncl/SC/ST /PwBD students means upper age limit is 30 years for these categories.

†††† But since 2018, the case of upper age limit is pending in supreme court , and so there's no upper age limit as of now until supreme court gives its judgement over it.

-----------) There's no attempt limit for neet.

>>>>>>>>>> Still want to be eligible for NEET?

If yes, then you can pass biology as an additional subject from NIOS or any recognised board and then you would become eligible as  Students with Biology as an additional subject are also provisionally eligible for   neet until Supreme Court gives its judgement but yes meanwhile if judgement comes then eligibility of biology additional students will depend upon the outcome of judgement.

Thank you
