Hi

No, it is not compulsory to qualify Neet examination is the first attempt to be eligible for AFMC  but yes it is mandatory to qualify your 12th board examination in the first attempt to be eligible for AFMC.

This is because,

As per eligibility criteria of AFMC to be eligible you should pass all the subjects in your class 12th in your first attempt  with English, Physics, Chemistry and Biology and must  get at least 60% in PCB  i. e Physics, Chemistry and Biology  and at least 50% marks in English and 50% marks individually in each of PCB , also should have studied and passed maths in the class 10th.

Also,

You must be at least 17 years of age by 31st December of the year in which you application, for example if you are applying in 2021 then to be eligible you should be at least  17 years old by 31st December 2021. Also, you must not be more than 24 years of age.
