A student, who went to school for 11 and 12 but failed in 1 exam in 12th, appeared for compartment in the next year and cleared it. With 60% pcb. But the marksheet reads private candidate. Again, she went to school. Is she eligible for neet or not... Please help. Clearly.

Hi

Yes, you can appear in NEET 2021 examination even if you are a private candidate ( private candidates are those who fail in their board exam and then pass the supplementary exam and thus pass 12th)

This is because,

The case of eligibility of private candidates for Neet examination is in Supreme Court but until the supreme court gives its judgement, private candidates are  eligible for Neet examination, so one is eligible for neet as a private candidate in 12th provided they must have got:-

• at least  50  % in aggregate of PCB  i.e Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology  in 12th examination  if belongs to general category

Now,

Your aggregate in PCB is 60 % i. e more than 50% and so you are definitely eligible for Neet 2021 examination

Also,

* to be eligible for neet 2021 one has to be at least 17 years old or more by 31st December 2021

* There is no upper age limit for Neet 2021

* There's no limit for the maximum number of attempts/times one can appear in NEET.

Now that , you  have limited time left for your neet examination I'll suggest you to focus on your preparation and revision,  go through mock test paper sample papers and previous year question papers as it will let you know your preparation level and and weak areas so that you can work on them and perform well in your examination.
