I've done my PCM in 2017 however I've chosen to give NEET 2022, I'm doing Biology as an additional from NIOS. Am I eligible for appearing in NEET?

Hi

As of now students with biology as an additional subject are eligible for neet so going by this. Yes,  you would be eligible for NEET 2022  if you study Biology as an additional /optional subject from  any recognised board  .

Yes, you can appear for neet 2022 even if you are just appearing for biology additional and haven't passed it yet, what you need to do is just choose appearing student while filling the application otherwise if you choose 12th passed then it would ask you to fill your biology marks which obviously you don't have right now and thus won't be able to fill the form. Just make sure that you get your biology additional marksheet by the time of neet counselling.

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 examination with 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.

-----------)  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 :-

• Lower 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 .

• Upper age limit :-There's no upper age limit .

Now that,

limited time is left for neet 2022 , so you should be focusing on your preparation,

***** practising chapterwise questions

***** then revising the chapters,

***** solve at least previous 10 year neet question papers as concept behind the question often gets repeated in the examination so it will be of great help in your preparation  ,

***** go through neet mock test papers as it will let you know your preparation level and and weak areas so that you can work on them and perform well in your examination.
