Dear aspirant

Yes, ofcourse you are eligible for neet as your optional subject is not taken for calculating the total marks and even if you fail it's doesn't matter as you have passed your core subjects and overall status is passed also.

Basic eligibility criteria are as such

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

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%

You must should have more than 50% aggregate in PCB subject to be eligible for neet exam.

so if you have aggregate marks more than that,you will be eligible for the exam.

Hi,

The CBSE board has a best of five rule in which your main percentage is decided by one language subject I.e. English and other 4 subjects in which you get high scores. And the remaining subjects becomes additional whose marks won't be added to your main percentage.

The subject you would score lowest will automatically excluded . So, if you score higher marks in additional subject than any of your subject other than English then it would automatically replace the lowest scoring subject.

If we talk about your son's overall percentage then we will exclude the marks of Bengali subject because he scored lowest of all subjects in Bengali.

Percentage = 484 / 500 * 100

That is 96.8

Hope this will help you !
