Hi Supriya,

According to the norms of NTA, the eligibility criteria for neet exam is:

  • Qualifying Marks: UR - 50%, OBC/SC/ST - 40%, PWD - 45% (minimum aggregate marks only for PCB subjects)

So accordingly, if you do not fall under any reserved category, then you are not eligible for the exam. For more information about the eligibility criteria and other things, visit the link provided:

dear aspirant,

UR - 50% ,OBC/SC/ST - 40%  PWD - 45% (minimum aggregate marks only for PCB subjects) . So if you belong to the latter category you are rightly eligible to appear for neet exam.

all the best for your future.
