Asutosh, to be eligible for NEET, you should have Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English as your core subjects. But then the Supreme Court also passed an order Stating that Biology as an additional subject is also allowed for NEET. So if you have studied Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as your core subjects and studied Biology as your additional subject, should you fulfill the eligibility criteria, you are eligible for NEET. And so to be eligible for NEET, you should be 17 years atleast on December 31st of the year of admission and you should have completed your 12th, passed in all subjects and secure a minimum aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. It is 50% for General Category, 45% for PWD and 40% for OBC,SC,ST. Now if you belong to OBC Category, the Category you belong to should be also listed in the Central OBC list. Or else you will be considered as General Category and so you have to secure a minimum aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. This 50% is inclusive of the Theory and Practical marks scored in Physics, Chemistry and Biology collectively. You needn't score 50% in Physics, 50% in Chemistry and 50% in Biology separately. You need an aggregate of 50% or 40% depending on your Category as an aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. And along with Physics, Chemistry and Biology, you should also have studied English as one of the core subjects in your 12th.
