Hi


There's no upper age limit for neet examination. It's been permanently removed by NMC now so nothing to worry about your age.

Being PCM student without biology, you are not eligible for NEET.

To be eligible,

What you can do is pass NIOS biology on demand examination as an additional subject and then you will become eligible.


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

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 examination from a recognised board with 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 :-

  • 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.

How will that impact my CBSE marksheet, will that be replaced by NIOS due to transfer of credit? How will having an
NIOS marksheet affect my future opportunities in the MBBS or any other path

udbhav.katyal98 There will be bo transfer of credit or anything, it's just that you will get biology additional marksheet from NIOS, cbse marksheet will remain the same.

No, it won't affect you in any way as nios is valid as of now for neet. So, focus on neet preparation now

ADITYA KUMAR Thank you so much aditya, does this mean I have to apply for an on demand examination only for one subject that is Biology from NIOS, clear that and prepare for NEET? When applying for NEET I'll have to submit both my CBSE marksheet and the NIOS marksheet for Biology? Will that work?

udbhav.katyal98 Yes.

While filling neet application form, your 10th certificate is required to be uploaded and not 12th , so nothing to worry
