Hi Shubham!

You are eligible as long as you get atleast 50% aggregate in PCB subjects in the board exam.

Hope this answers your question!

Of course you are eligible. You just need to pass 12th with at least PCB subjects. Your total in PCB should be at least 50% in order to become eligible.(general category).

Hi, 

Yes you are eligible for giving neet examination. 

Thanks! 

Hello Subham,

According to the CBSE NEET Information Bulletin, Chapter 3, Clause 4 which states that:-

...Provided that 2 year of regular and continuous study of Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Bio-technology taking together shall be required at 10+2 level for all the candidates.  Candidates who have passed 10+2 from Open Schools or as private candidate shall not be eligible to appear for NEET (UG). 

*Furthermore, study of Biology/Bio-technology as an additional subject at 10+2 level also shall not permissible.*

Based on this year's Bulletin, you would have not been elligible. However, these rules are subject to change and based on previous years experience, it should not pose a problem. Alot of students take PCMB combination and go for Medicine.

Don't worry about it so much. Start your preparations on a good note. All the very Best!

Even if biology is an additional subject for you, it will be evaluatory.
And only your aggregate of PCB will be considered for your eligibility criteria.
You will be eligible to apply for NEET-UG examination in 2020.
