Yes, Koushik, as an engineering student, you are still eligible to appear for the NEET UG 2025 exam. There is no restriction based on your current field of study in engineering. NEET eligibility criteria mainly focus on your 12th-grade qualifications, not your current course of study.
To be eligible for NEET UG 2025, you must have completed 10+2 or an equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English as mandatory subjects. Since you completed the PCMB (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology) course in your 12th board, you meet the academic requirements. Additionally, you need to have scored a minimum of 50% aggregate marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology for the general category (40% for reserved categories like SC, ST, OBC).
You are allowed to attempt NEET multiple times, as there is no limit on the number of attempts, and the age limit for general category candidates is 17 to 25 years (with a 5-year relaxation for reserved categories).
Thus, if you meet the basic eligibility criteria, you can definitely appear for NEET UG 2025 while pursuing your engineering studies and try for a seat in an MBBS program.
hope this helps you!!
