Hello aspirant,

Unfortunately, no, you cannot give the NEET UG exam if you belong to the general category as you require minimum of 50% in class 12 board exam. However, SC/ST/OBC candidates require 40% only and if belong to any of these categories, then you are eligible for the exam. Following is the NEET eligibility criteria-

The class 12 percentage required for NEET 2022 exam is separate for each category and can be listed as under. NEET eligibility marks in class 12 to be considered are aggregate marks only for PCB subjects

• UR - 50%,

• OBC/SC/ST - 40%,

• PWD - 45%

Candidates must have passed 10+2 or equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English as core subjects from a recognized board.

Class 12 or equivalent appearing aspirants are also eligible to apply for NEET.

There are no restrictions on the maximum NEET attempt limit.

Hope it helps!
