sir, I have passed 12th with PCM in 2015 and I have am appearing single subject biology in 12th from private UP board please tell me I am eligible or not? And also tell me which code I choose ?
Hi Aadi
Neet 2021 eligibility criteria says that, to be eligible you must should have passed 12th board examination with physics, chemistry ,biology and English as core subjects and must have got at least 50 % in aggregate of PCB i.e Physics, Chemistry and Biology ( in theory +practical) in 12th examination if belongs to general category , or at least 40% in aggregate of PCB if belongs to Obc/ Sc /st category.
Also, the students with Biology as an additional/optional subject are eligible for Neet examination.
But ,
it is unsure that you will be eligible by just passing your Biology later on after 12th because as per eligibility criteria students who have passed their 12th board examination with biology as additional subject are eligible and additional subject is nothing but the 6th subject in your board examination.
So,
if you want to be eligible for Neet , I will suggest you to give NIOS on demand examination for 12th with all the 5 subjects including physics ,chemistry biology and English and for the 5th subject you can choose any subject of your choice like Hindi ,Sanskrit, maths or any other subject and after passing, if you fulfill the aforesaid percentage requirement in PCB then you will be eligible and can get admission in MBBS on the basis of marks obtained by you in the Neet examination .
And if you appear this year for NIOS on demand examination then you will have to choose the code 1 if your result is awaited at the time of filling the neet application form , as code 1 is for candidates appearing for 12th examination 2021 or have appeared with subjects including physics chemistry biology and English but the result is awaited.
If by the time of filling the neet application form, you get your results with required % to be eligible i. e. at least 50 % in PCB if you belong to general category or at least 40% in PCB if you belong to OBC, SC or St category then you need to choose the code 2 as it is for those who have already passed their class 12th board examination and meet Neet eligibility criteria.
