If you had biology as an additional subject in class 12th, then you are eligible to appear in NEET exam, biology is allowed as an additional subject in NEET exam, the minimum qualification required to appear in NEET exam is that the candidate must have passed 10+2 where Physics, Chemistry and Biology are mandatory subjects.
Hope this helps, all the best.
Yes, you are eligible for NEET Examination.
However I would suggest you to give time and prepare for a year, before you take the Exam. There are students who after securing 100 in Biology, fail to perform in NEET and secure a seat in MBBS at any Government or State Medical Institute. NEET is an exam where besides practice and proper revision, a proper test taking strategy is required besides strategic selection of study material.

Also you must pass all your subjects and pass your class 12th board with an aggregate of more than 50% ( for general candidates ).
Ans as your aggregate is 82%, so you are eligible to give neet 2021.
