I am in class 12(PCB) and will give boards in 2022. i am not prepared for neet 2022, so will it be okay not to attempt neet this year i.e. 2022 and take a drop year and attempt next year i.e. 2023? Is there any rule that says its compulsory to attempt neet in appearing year of 12th?

Hi

Yes, you can definitely choose not to attempt Neet 2022 and  don't worry you can appear still appear in NEET 2023 without attempting neet 2022 and onwards as well, there will be no problem.

This is because,

There is no rule which says that if you skip Neet for this year i. e your 12th appearing year or any year, you become ineligible for next year neet . So, don't worry you will be eligible for Neet 2023 even if you skip neet  2022 and even eligible beyond neet 2023 because there's no attempt limit 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 .

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.

††††† My Personal opinion   :- I would suggest you to appear in NEET 2022 examination instead of skipping it. I know there are times when aspirants feel that they are not ready for the examination but trust me this is totally normal and you still have decent time to prepare well for Neet 2022 examination and in the worst case even if you are not able to perform well in NEET 2022 you can  simply take a drop and appear for Neet 2023 but appearing in NEET 2022  will be an added benefit as you will have the Real Experience of Neet examination and you will get to know the types of questions which are asked in the examination, their difficulty level etc so that you can prepare accordingly in your drop year

Thank you
