Hello
You are still in your 1st year means you haven't passed it.
You need to choose the code 02.
This is because,
Though you are in bsc Zoology 1st year, your highest qualification with all the three subjects i. e physics chemistry and Biology/ biotechnology remains your 10+2
While, those who have passed 1st year of 3 year graduation with all the three subject i. e physics chemistry and Biology/biotechnology needs to select code 5 and those who have completed BSc with at least any two of physics chemistry and Biology in their bsc need to select code 6.
Here's a short brief of Neet codes :-
--------) Code 1 :- code 1 is for class 12th board 2021 examination appearing students with physics, chemistry, biology and English or have have already appeared but results are awaited i. e have not been declared.
