To be eligible for NEET, you should have completed your 12th, passed in all subjects and secure a minimum aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. It is 50% for General Category, 45% for PWD and 40% for OBC,SC,ST. Now if you belong to OBC Category, the Category you belong to should be also listed in the Central OBC list. Or else you will be considered as General Category and so you have to secure a minimum aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. This 50% is inclusive of the Theory and Practical marks scored in Physics, Chemistry and Biology collectively. You needn't score 50% in Physics, 50% in Chemistry and 50% in Biology separately. You need an aggregate of 50% or 40% depending on your Category as an aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. And along with Physics, Chemistry and Biology, you should also have studied English as one of the core subjects in your 12th. If your board accepts Internal theory marks and declares you Pass in your results, then NTA will accept that and consider you eligible.

Hello,

To decide whether you are eligible for NEET or not you must have passed 10+2 with Biology/Biotechnology, Physics and Chemistry with 50% marks, for pwd it is 45% and for SC/ST/OBC category it is 40% marks in the qualifying examination. The marks you have scored in final theory and practicals exams are considered. Internal theory marks are not considered.
