Hi

When you fail in 12th and then again appear in examination, then you appear for it as a private candidate . And as a private candidate you are eligible for neet. And it doesn't matter even if you have failed twice i. e in 2019 and 2020 .

This is because,

The case of eligibility of private candidates for Neet examination is in Supreme Court but until the supreme court gives its judgement, private candidates are  eligible for Neet examination, so one is eligible for neet as a private candidate in 12th provided they 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

Hello Aspirant,

Yes of course you will be eligible but only when you pass your class 12th with 50% aggregate marks separately in Physics, Chemistry and Biology, 40% for OBC/SC/ST and 45% for PwD certificate holders and also you should have passed in English subject. This is because there is no upper age limit for NEET but there is minimum age limit for NEET which is 17 years which means that if you want to appear for NEET 2021 the you must have completed your 17 years on December 31st 2021,
