PCM students can give NEET exam if they have biology as the additional subject. Otherwise, you can't give NEET exam. The PCM students can clear biology/biotechnology exam as an additional  subject at 10+2 level from any recognised board to give NEET exam. To know more about NEET exam ,you can check NEET 2025 .

Hope you are doing well !

No, pcm students can't give neet exam .mainly they prefer to give jee main or advanced. To give neet exam following criteria should be met.

Candidates from the General category have to obtain a score of 50% or above in the PCB exam in Class 12 in order to be eligible for the NEET UG exam. Meanwhile, PwD candidates are required to score 45% aggregate, and SC/ST/OBC categories have to score a minimum of 40% aggregate.

Hello,


Yes, students who have studied Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) in their 10+2 or equivalent examination are eligible to appear for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). In fact, PCM students are the primary candidates who appear for the NEET exam, as it is a mandatory entrance exam for admission to undergraduate medical and dental courses in India.

Hello aspirant,

PCM students can now take NEET 2025 thanks to a recent expansion of the NEET UG Eligibility Criteria! However, candidates with PCM as core courses must have chosen biology or biotechnology as a supplementary or extra subject throughout their 10+2 years in order to sit for the NEET UG 2025 exam.

So you need to have biology as a subject after your class 10th.

Thank you

The National Medical Council (NMC) has issued new guidelines, according to which, students of both PCM or PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) streams in class 11th and 12th can appear for the NEET UG exam . However,Students who have not passed 12th with Biology can also appear for NEET. For this, they will have to pass a separate 10+2 level examination in Biology or Biotechnology.

Moreover,Students who have passed 12th from open school or private can also appear for NEET and it will be mandatory for students of both streams to study English subject.

Good luck!!
