Hi

In order to do MBBS you will have to clear neet and for that you need to be eligible for Neet .

Now,

You don't have Biology in your class 12 still no worries no need to repeat the class 11 and 12th rather what you need to do is just pass Biology as an aditional subject from NIOS and then you will become eligible for Neet examination

This is because,

The eligibility of students with Biology as an additional / optional subject  is in the supreme court but until it gives its judgement students, these students are eligible for neet

For your reference,

Here's the eligibility criteria for NEET :-

-------------------) Qualification required :-As per Neet eligibility to be eligible one must be either appearing for 12th board examination  or should have passed 12th board examination from any recognised board with physics, chemistry ,biology/biotechnology and English as core subject.

†††Important Note :- Students with Biology as an additional subject are also provisionally eligible for neet until Supreme Court gives its judgement over it.

-------------------)  Percentage required :- You must get

  • 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 st/Obc/ Sc

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


-------------------)  Age limit :-

  • Lower age limit:- to be eligible for neet  one has to be at least 17 years old or more by 31st December in the year of appearing for the examination .

  • Upper age limit :-There's no upper age limit for NEET. Earlier there was upper age limit  of 25 years which was pending in supreme court, on 9th march 2022 NMC in its notice has removed upper age limit.

--------------------) There's no attempt limit for neet.

For detailed information about neet examination eligibility go through our page for which link is provided below; -

To help you further,

Here's how you can get admission in MBBS :-


------------------------------) Appear in Neet examination


------------------------------) Qualify neet examination. Qualifying cut off in neet is given below

  • General :- 50th Percentile

  • OBC:-  40th Percentile

  • SC :-40th Percentile

  • ST :-  40th percentile

To be on the safer side, out of 720 marks, target at least around 580 -630 marks for state quota seats and 650 marks in neet for All india quota seats if you belong to general category.


------------------------------) Participate in neet counselling. There are 2 counsellings -

  • Mcc counselling :- It is conducted for 15% AIQ seats, 100% Deemed Universities seats, Central Universities  seats (Delhi University, AMU & BHU ), 100% ESIC seats , AFMC  seats (only Registration Part) & I.P University (VMMC & SJH AND ABVIMS & RML & ESIC Dental, Delhi (15% AIQ + 85% Institutional Quota ) ,100% AIIMS seats & 100% JIPMER seats



Detailed information about counselling is available at

https://medicine.careers360.com/articles/neet-seat-allotment


------------------------------) In the counselling, you can get a seat in a college on the basis of your rank in NEET examination and the category you belong to .


------------------------------) Then you have to report to the college and get your documents verified.


------------------------------) After document verification, finally you get admission in the college for mbbs.

Vasudha Sykam You just need to pass 12th biology from nios, there won't be 11th part in that and don't worry passing 11th biology is not required. And don't worry there are many who have passed 12th biology as additional from nios and now studying mbbs :) , you can do it too.
