Hello,
According to the NEET eligibility criteria, candidates must have passed the 12th examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as main subjects and must have scored a minimum of 50% marks in PCB combined.
Since you've taken the NIOS improvement exam for Physics, you'll need to check the following:
1. If you score 50% or more in Physics in the NIOS exam, you may become eligible for NEET.
2. Your eligibility for MBBS seats in government colleges will depend on your revised PCB marks and your NEET rank.
3. You will have two separate mark sheets, one from HSC and one from NIOS. You'll need to check with the respective authorities or the college you're applying to, to see if they accept both mark sheets.
Hope this helps,
Thank you
Hey,
To be eligible for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) and for admission to MBBS courses in India, candidates must meet certain academic criteria. Here’s how your situation with NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) impacts your eligibility:
NEET ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA :
-
Educational Qualification:
- Candidates must have passed 10+2 or equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English as core subjects.
- They must have secured a minimum aggregate of 50% marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology (40% for SC/ST/OBC and 45% for PWD candidates).
-
Age Limit:
- Candidates must be at least 17 years old as of December 31 of the year of admission.
- The upper age limit is 25 years (30 years for SC/ST/OBC candidates) as of the date of examination.
YOUR SITUATION :
-
Improvement Exam from NIOS:
- If you appear for the NIOS October examination to improve your marks in Physics and subsequently meet the required percentage in PCB, you will be eligible for NEET.
-
Validity of NIOS Marksheets:
- Marksheets from NIOS are considered valid for NEET and MBBS admissions in India. The NIOS is recognized by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India, and is equivalent to other boards.
STEPS TO ENSURE ELIGIBILITY :
-
Appear for the NIOS Improvement Exam:
- Ensure you score sufficiently in the improvement exam to bring your aggregate PCB marks to at least 50%.
-
Retain Both Marksheets:
- You will have two marksheets (one from your original board and one from NIOS). Both are valid, and you can use the improved scores to calculate your eligibility.
-
Apply for NEET:
- When applying for NEET, provide the details of your improved scores from NIOS. Ensure you have the necessary documentation ready during counseling and admission processes.
Conclusion:
If you improve your Physics marks through the NIOS improvement exam and meet the minimum aggregate percentage required in PCB, you will be eligible to sit for NEET and, consequently, apply for MBBS courses in India, including government colleges. Both your original and improved marksheets will be valid for this purpose.
Hope it helps!
