Hi

It's completely ok even if you have got just 49.5% in class 12th Science stream b ut what is your aggregate in PCB?

Actually, your overall % obtained by you in  class 12th is not considered for Neet eligibility criteria , only your aggregate % in PCB is taken in account for considering your eligibility as :-

Eligibility criteria says that to be eligible for neet, you should have passed 12th board examination with physics, chemistry ,biology/biotechnology and English and must have got:-

  • 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  Obc/ Sc /st category

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

So, if you meet this percentage requirement in PCB as per your category then only  you are eligible for Neet examination otherwise you are not eligible .

In case,

if 49.5 % is your aggregate% in PCB,

then you are not eligible for Neet examination if you belong to general category but if you belong to any other category then you are eligible.

Also,

* to be eligible for neet 2021 one has to be at least 17 years old or more by 31st December 2021

* There is no upper age limit for Neet 2021

* There's no limit for the maximum number of attempts/times one can appear in NEET.
