To be eligible for NEET, you should be 17 years atleast as on December 31st of the year of admission and 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. As long as  you fulfill this criteria, you can appear for NEET as there is no upper age limit for NEET as of now. Now for this year, you can take up B.Sc in any of the subjects like Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Marine Sciences, Fisheries, Agriculture, Bio technology, Microbiology, etc. Or else you can take BA in Languages and Literature. Then you also have B.Pharmacy as an option too.
