are NIOS students eligible to write NEET 2023? Will they face any issues while applying for gvt colleges?

Hi

As of now  NIOS board students are eligible and going by that will be eligible for Neet 2023 examination

This is because,

Eligibility of  students from NIOS and other open boards is in Supreme Court but until the supreme court gives its judgement ,students of nios and all other recognised open boards are eligible for Neet examination provided they fulfill Neet eligibility criteria provided below :-

Neet 2023 eligibility criteria says that to be eligible you must be either appearing for 12th  examination or should have passed 12th  examination with physics, chemistry ,biology/biotechnology and English and 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

• at least  40%  in aggregate of PCB if belongs to Obc/ Sc/St

• at least 45 % in aggregate of PCB in case of pwd candidates to be eligible.

So, if you meet this criteria then with your qualification you are eligible for Neet  examination even if you are from NIOS and can get admission in government medical colleges as well, you won't face problem

Also,

* to be eligible for neet 2023 one has to be at least 17 years old or more by 31st December 2023

* There is no upper age limit for Neet as of now

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

††††† IMPORTANT NOTE :- There's still 2 years left for neet 2023 so in the meanwhile if Supreme Court gives its judgement then Eligibility of NIOS and other open board students will depend upon the outcome of the judgement.

Thank you
