You need to have a background of scoring a minimum of 50% in Physics, Chemistry, Math and an overall 50% in the qualufying examination. However, there is no upper-age limit for the exam, so you can go ahead with it, if you wish to. To know more about the exam and details related to it, read up on Careers 360 at the link given below

As per the nata eligibility criteria one who completed 10+2 in pcm can apply
But they didn't mention exactly but the meaning is like this student who seeking to get admission into 1st year of under graduation degree.
