Hi

No, you don't need 50 % individually in each of physics, chemistry & biology.

A general category  need 50 % aggregate  in PCB i. e Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology, means your total percentage in sum of physics, chemistry and biology .

For example,

Let's say that you get

• 62 marks out of 100 marks in Physics

• 48 marks out of 100 marks in chemistry and

• 49 marks out of 100 marks in biology

Then your aggregate% in PCB

=  62     +     48   +    49

=   159

=( 159  /  300  *  100 )%

=    53% aggregate in pcb will be considered and will be eligible for neet

For your reference,

Here's the eligibility criteria for NEET :-

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