Without biology/biotechnology being a PCM student you are not eligible for neet examination.
To be eligible for neet,
What you can do is pass biology as an additional subject from NIOS.
And then you will be eligible
This is because,
The eligibility of students with Biology as an additional subject is in the supreme court but until it gives its judgement students, these students are eligible for neet
Here's the eligibility criteria for NEET :-
-----------)Qualification required:-As per Neet eligibility to be eligible you must be either appearing for 12th board examination or should have passed 12th board examinationwith physics, chemistry ,biology/biotechnology and English as core subject.
Important Note :- Students who have passed Biology as an additional subject are also provisionally eligible for neet until Supreme Court gives its judgement.
-----------)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:-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
