To be eligible for NEET, there are only 2 major criteria.

  1. You should be 17years at;east as on December 31st of the year of admission, in your case, December 31st, 2021.
  2. 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.

The rest are Nationality criteria. Now there is no upper age limit and cap on no.of times you can appear for NEET. And you haven't mentioned the criteria that you want to be changed. But while even in Pandemic, the criteria remained the same and it might not change even for 2021.

Hello Aspirant,

See till now National Testing Agency which is the conducting authority for NEET, has not released any notification for NEET 2021 and until any notifications get released by the competent authorities such as either NTA or MCI we cannot help you with exact eligibility criteria. However it is expected that there will be no change in NEET eligibility criteria, you can check the latest eligibility criteria from the link given below :-

As of the latest news on board exams and other competitive exams our Hon'ble education minister Mr. Ramesh Pokhariyal Nishank was live on December 10th and now he is again going to be live on December 17th on his different social media accounts as a part of the campaign which seeks opinions from different students, teachers and parents regarding the conduction of upcoming examinations such as boards, JEE NEET and so on.

So many doubts have been asked using using #EducationMinisterGoesLive on twitter as well as Facebook and other social media sites and still if you have any you can ask using the #EducationMinisterGoesLive. As the live session has been conducted and he told that some decision might be taken regarding the dates for upcoming examinations within few dates. So till then we have to wait for it and let us see what would be the conclusion of live interaction of December 22nd.
