What if I crack neet n fail in the optional subject in CBSE boards
That would be a problem, according to the criteria you should have passed all the subjects with the following scores.
To fulfill the NEET eligibility criteria , candidate must have passed in Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Bio-technology and English. The candidates belonging to General Category should score a minimum of 50% marks in Class 12 .
Candidates who belong to Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribes or Other Backward Classes (OBC) should score a minimum of 40% in their Class 12.
One should have a clear pass in 5 subjects in class 12th board including physics, chemistry, biology to be eligible.
Hope it helps.
ReplyThe rules of qualifying examination states that a candidate who is appearing in the qualifying examination, i.e., Class 12, and whose result is awaited, may apply and take up NEET but he/she shall not be eligible for admission to the MBBS or BDS, if he/she does not pass the qualifying examination with the required pass percentage of marks at the time of first round of counselling.
Hope it helps.
Hello Kiran
It is a very valid question and comes in mind of everyone who gave entrance examinations. But you should not worry about this.
As per CBSE, a student need to pass in 5 subjects, including the three major subjects (eg PCM/PCB) and English. If a person has taken another subject (eg phycology, geography, maths etc) as a 6th (optional) subject and fails in it , he/she will still pass 12th boards.
As the percentage calculated does not include the 6th subject. You can apply anywhere you want a long as you don't fail in your 3 major and one language subject.
It also applies in the case when you fail in the 5th subject but pass in 6th subject. You will still be considered pass
