To determine your eligibility for NEET, let's break down the requirements:
Eligibility Criteria for NEET
1. *Age*: You must be at least 17 years old as of December 31st of the exam year.
2. *Qualifying Examination*: You must have passed Class 12 or equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English as core subjects.
3. *Minimum Marks*: You must have scored at least 50% marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology combined (40% for SC/ST/OBC-NCL candidates, 45% for PwD candidates).
Your Situation
You passed Class 10th with 72% but failed Science by 3 marks. However, you took PCB in Class 11th and 12th and scored good marks in Class 12th Science.
Eligibility Verdict
Since you passed Class 12th with good marks in Science and have PCB as core subjects, you are *eligible* to appear for NEET.
Important Note
Although you're eligible, it's essential to ensure that your Class 10th Science failure doesn't affect your Class 12th certificate or mark sheet. Verify with your school or board authorities to confirm that your Class 12th certificate is valid and recognized.
You're all set to prepare for NEET! Focus on your studies, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns.
