sir in my 12 th board exam I get ( theory=09/70 & practical=28/30 ) total37 marks , but in my result there shows that the minimum passing marks for PCB is (in theory)21 so am I eligible for NEET exam.

Hi

I am extremely sorry to tell you dear but you are not eligible for Neet examination.

This is because,

To be eligible for Neet you must pass individually in both theory and practical examination in physics chemistry and Biology but with 09 marks in  theory you have failed in theory examination and thus failed in that subject and so failed in fulfilling the very criteria of passing PCB, hence not eligible as Neet eligibility criteria says that :-

To be eligible one should  pass 12th board examination with PCB i. e physics, chemistry,biology/biotechnology and English, should have passed both the  practical and theory examination individually  in PCB and must have got:-

• 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  Obc/ Sc /st category

• 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 for NEET. Earlier there was upper age limit  of 25 years which was pending in supreme court, on 9th march 2022 NMC in its notice has removed upper age limit.
