Hello, I am from Telangana. I finished my B-tech and doing job ever since. I would like to pursue MBBS. I am not sure about the process. I have done Maths Physics and Chemistry in my 11th snd 12th. so my question is 1) Should I completely redo my 11th and 12th or Can I apply through NIOS ?

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.
