I did my 12th PCM in 2017. Due to some personal reasons I wish to give NEET 2022. What options do I have to make myself eligible for the same? If I take Biology as an additional subject from NIOS would I fill the eligibility criteria ?

Hi

Yes, yes you are eligible for NEET 2022 even if you study Biology as an additional subject from NIOS.

This is because,

The eligibility of students with Biology as an additional / optional subject is in the supreme court but until it gives its judgement students, these students are eligible for neet

Here's the eligibility criteria for NEET :-

-----------)Qualification required:-As per Neet eligibility to be eligible you must be either appearing for 12th board examination or should have passed 12th board examinationwith physics, chemistry ,biology/biotechnology and English as core subject.

Important Note :- Students who have passed Biology as an additional subject are also provisionally eligible for neet until Supreme Court gives its judgement. It's 1 year left for neet 2022 , So if Supreme Court gives its judgement meanwhile then eligibility will depend upon the outcome of the judgement.

-----------)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:-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 i. e 31st December 2021 in case of neet 2021, no upperage limit as of now.
