Hi

No, you don't need high percentage in your 12th to be eligible for neet counselling.

You just need to be eligible for neet examination with percentage in pcb i. e you should have passed 12th board 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 , or at least 40% in aggregate of PCB if belongs to Obc/ Sc /stcategory.

Now,
Your aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology  is
= 44 . 7 %  i.e lesser than 50% , but more than 40 % so you are not eligible for Neet if you belong to general category but if you belong to OBC/ SC or St category then yes you are eligible for Neet examination.
From your previous question that I answered, I know you are from obc category. So, don't worry with 44.7 % in pcb you are eligible for neet and neet counselling too and after qualifying Neet examination you can get admission in Medical Colleges on the basis of rank or marks obtained by you in NEET

Your profile suggests that your domicile state is AP.

So, to give you example for eligibility for neet counselling, below is the eligibility criteria for AP neet counselling:-

* must be 10+2 or its equivalent passed with PCB i. e Physics, Chemistry, Biology (Botany, Zoology)/Biotechnology and English

* Percentage requirement in PCB for different categories in 12th:-

-)OC - 50% marks
-)BC/SC/ST - 40%
-)OC PH - 45%

*Age :- should be 17 years by December of the year of admission i. e 31st December 2021 in case if you are going to appear in neet 2021

* Must have qualified neet exam. Qualifying cut off for different categories is :-

-)OC- 50th Percentile in neet ug
-)BC- 40th Percentile in NEET ug
-)SC/ST - 40th Percentile in neet ug
-)OC PH - 40th Percentile in neet UG

You can check the same at official website of Dr NTR UNIVERSITY of health Sciences which conducts AP neet counselling , the link is provided below :-

And yes you have chances to get a seat with 550 marks.
For example,
in neet 2019, 449 marks for obc category was the cut off marks to get a seat in  government medical college   under under AP state quota AU region and it was for Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Srikakulam

I hope that I was able to clear all your doubts.

Thank you
