I am going to apply my pcb 12 science in nios 2022 on april will i be eligible to apply for neet 2022 just after my nios 12 exam as im preparing for neet already ..?

Hi

Yes, NIOS board students are eligible for Neet  examination as of now, so going by this you will be eligible for neet 2022.

This is because,

Eligibility of  students from NIOS and other open boards is in Supreme Court but until the supreme court gives its judgement ,students of nios and all other recognised open boards are eligible for Neet examination provided they fulfill Neet eligibility criteria provided below :-

Neet  eligibility criteria says that to be eligible you must be either appearing for 12th  examination or should have passed 12th  examination with physics, chemistry ,biology/biotechnology and English and must have got:-

• 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 Obc/ Sc/St

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

So, if you meet this criteria then with your qualification you are eligible for Neet  examination even if you do 12th pcb from nios

Also,

* to be eligible for neet one has to be at least 17 years old or more by 31st December of the year of appearing.

* There is no upper age limit for Neet as of now.

* There's no limit for the maximum number of attempts/times one can appear in NEET.

Also,

don't worry even if your 12th nios exam is in April 2022,in case if you don't get results while filling the neet application form, you can still fill neet form 2022 as a 12th appearing student.
