Mirza, to be eligible for NEET, you should have completed your 12th, passed in all subjects and secure a minimum aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology. 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/Biotechnology. This 50% is inclusive of the Theory and Practical marks scored in Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology collectively. You needn't score 50% in Physics, 50% in Chemistry and 50% in Biology/Biotechnology separately. You need an aggregate of 50% or 40% depending on your Category as an aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology. And along with Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology, you should also have studied English as one of the core subjects in your 12th. So either Biology or Biotechnology should be either as a core subject or atleast as an additional subject. But if it is a branch and not a subject, can you help us with the subjects that you have studied in your 12th please? Also alternatively, please reach out to the helpdesk at: neet@nta.ac.in
