Hello
Yes , those students have biology as an optional subject or as a additional subject are eligible for neet examination .
So , you are eligible for neet examination provided you get at least 50% marks taken together in Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Bio-technology in your class 12th board examination from a recognized board if you belong to general category ; while it's only 40% aggregate in pcb for obc, sc and st categories , 45 % aggregate in pcb for pwd category. You need to pass in English in your 12th as well.
Also , to be eligible for Neet 2020 you need to be at least 17 years old or more by 31st December , 2020 .
Thank you
