I found this on neet website,

CBSE is responsible for holding the examination.

The eligibility criteria have been provided by

Medical Council of India (MCI) which is stipulated in

the Information Bulletin. Many queries are being

received on the eligibility criteria from candidates

who have passed from open school, private

candidates etc. Such candidates are advised to

follow the instructions given by MCI. CBSE has no

role to play in it. Therefore no reply to any such

query on the eligibility condition will be given by the

CBSE.

To ensure your eligibility, the simple formula is that

you kindly verify your eligibility by ensuring that you

must have studied Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Bio-

Technology with English (Core) continuously for 02

years and must have secured 50% marks

individually and otherwise.

Dear Harpreet

As far as I can read the eligibility criteria, yes you are eligible for NEET 2018.

CBSE bars those private candidates to appear for NEET 2018 who have not done regular schooling in Class 12 and haven't appeared for practicals as well. However, given your status, I assume you did you schooling as a regular and continuous student and passed all the practical exams of Physics, Chemistry and Biology at Class 12 level, while failed in a theory exam for which you  as a private candidate and passed it.

Provided you have studied English, Physics, Chemistry and Biology for two years as a regular student in a school and passed all the practicals in Class 12, you are eligible for NEET 2018. Only because you failed in some Class 12 subjects and had to appear for the subjects again as a private (compartment) candidate does not make you ineligible since you have received practical training for two years through regular schooling.

be worried about the ‘private’ word mentioned on their .

You may consult the link given below to clear all your queries pertaining to confusions surrounding NEET eligibility criteria. The FAQs will clear all doubts related to being a private candidate, or Class 12 examination.

That's not in my case) 5) my "2nd marksheet" describes me as private candidate(99999), since it's my compartment  Just for a reclarification from your part ," Am I eligible for neet UG 2018".

Harpreet does the new marksheet represent your practical marks as well? If yes, that i think you should be eligible for NEET 2018.

Yes ma'am I does represent theory and practical marks both

Aren't you sure ma'am,"I think you Should be eligible"

Very well! The very fact that practical marks are represented, it means that your regular studies of Class 12 have been counted, because those who complete their Class 12 only through open or as private are not able to do practicals. So, I think you are eligible. I would suggest you just one thing, to be on the safe side, if it is possible you can ask your school to give issue you a document stating that you studied Class 12 as regular with so n so subjects and did practicals from the school. You can show this document at the time of counselling then. Note that it is just a suggestion and not a compulsory requirement stated by the official prospectus.

They are very unclear about what they want to communicate.......This is what I found......CBSE is  responsible for holding the examination. The eligibility criteria have been provided by Medical Council of India (MCI) which is stipulated in the Information Bulletin. Many queries are being received on the eligibility criteria from candidates who have passed from open school, private candidates etc. Such candidates are advised to follow the instructions given by MCI. CBSE has no role to play in it. Therefore no reply to any such query on the eligibility condition will be given by the CBSE.To ensure your eligibility, the simple formula is that you kindly verify your eligibility by ensuring that you must have studied Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Bio-Technology with English (Core) continuously for 02 years and must have secured 50% marks individually and otherwise.What does otherwise states here?

Yes Harpreet. The section you just quoted is given the additional FAQs released by CBSE. 'Otherwise' here means that along with scoring 50% marks individually in each subject, in aggregate (average) as well you need to score at least 50%.

If i passed class 12 in 2018 bt i m appearing NEET exam in 2019 will be a problem because of  different  year  in addmission

No Shivani. It will not be a problem. It is not compulsory to give NEET in the immediate year succeeding the Class 12. As long as you fulfill other age related and eudcation related eligibility criteria, you will be able to appear for NEET 2019 even if you have passed Class 12 in 2018.

As per NEET eligibility criteria, a private candidate cannot apply for NEET but if you have studied PCB regular in 11th and 12th then you can fill the form as it should be accepting it. You can confirm from your school/class teacher if bio is an additional subject or not. Also if its an additional subject it is mentioned in the marksheet as well. If it is not then go ahead with filling the application form.

Good Luck.
