Under the CBSE board, a student is considered to have passed Class 12 if they pass at least five subjects, including the required ones. Since you have six subjects, if you fail in Physics but pass in Chemistry, Biology, English, Painting, and Computer Science, you will still be considered passed because your additional subject (Computer Science) will replace the failed subject. However, for medical college admission, you must pass Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English as per NMC eligibility rules. Since Physics is mandatory, you would need to clear it in a compartment exam to be eligible for NEET and MBBS admission.

Yes, if you fail in Physics but pass all other subjects including Chemistry, Biology, Painting, and Computer Science (your additional subject), you will still be considered to have passed 12th grade under the CBSE board.

According to CBSE rules, you only need to pass five subjects to be considered passed in 12th grade.

Even though you are taking Computer Science as an additional subject, your result in that subject does not affect your overall passing status.

If you want to improve your Physics grade, you can appear for a compartment exam in that subject later.

Hello

Yes, you can pursue BSc Nursing after completing your 12th with PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) in 2024 and giving the biology exam as a private candidate in 2025.

Most BSc Nursing programs require candidates to have studied Biology in their 12th grade. Since you'll be completing the biology exam, you'll meet the eligibility criteria for BSc Nursing.

Ensure that the university or college you are applying to accepts private candidates for the biology exam and confirms the eligibility criteria for admissions.

Hello

AIIMS BSc Nursing requires candidates to have completed 12th grade with Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English as core subjects in a single attempt.

Since you completed 12th with PCM in 2024 and are taking Biology privately in 2025, AIIMS may not consider you eligible.

Hope this gives you the clarity you need.

Hello

Here's some important NEET Biology topics and questions:

Class 11 :

Diversity of Life : Five-kingdom classification, differences among Monera, Protista and Fungi.

Cell Biology : Structure & function of cell organelles, prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic cells.

Human Physiology : Digestion, nerve impulse conduction, hormonal regulation of the menstrual cycle.

Class 12 :

Reproduction : Spermatogenesis vs. oogenesis, double fertilization in plants.

Genetics & Evolution : Mendelian laws, DNA replication, Hardy-Weinberg principle.

Ecology : Food chain & energy flow, biodiversity conservation.

Focus on NCERT based conceptual questions , diagrams and previous years questions for better preparation.

Hope this gives you the clarity you need.

ALL THE BEST

Hello,

Mahatma Gandhi University (MGU) in Kerala does not offer a B.Sc. program specifically in Marine Biology . However, students interested in marine sciences can consider the following options:

• B.Sc. in Environmental Science : MGU's School of Environmental Sciences offers a B.Sc. in Environmental Science, which includes topics related to marine ecosystems.

• B.Sc. in Zoology : MGU provides a B.Sc. in Zoology, covering various aspects of animal biology, including marine organisms.

• Alternative Institutions : For a dedicated B.Sc. in Marine Biology, consider institutions like Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) in Kochi, Kerala.

These programs offer foundational knowledge beneficial for pursuing advanced studies or careers in marine biology.

Hope you find it useful !

Yes, biology students (PCB) can appear for JEE Main, but there are limitations. Mathematics is a mandatory subject for most engineering courses, so if you haven’t studied math in 12th, getting admission into an engineering program may be difficult.

However, if you are determined to pursue engineering, you can study mathematics separately through NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) or any equivalent board and then become eligible for JEE Main.

While JEE Main does allow some exceptions, most engineering colleges require math as a subject in 12th for admission. If your goal is a field like biotechnology or biomedical engineering, some universities may accept PCB students, but options will be limited.

Hello

Yes , as a PCB student, you can apply for B.Tech in Pharmaceutical Technology or B.Tech in Pharmaceutical Engineering , depending on the university's eligibility criteria. Some institutes may require Mathematics as a subject, while others accept PCB students.

Colleges that may accept PCB students:

1. ICT Mumbai (Institute of Chemical Technology)

2. Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Pharmacy

3. Amity Institute of Pharmacy

4. Manipal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences

It’s best to check the specific eligibility requirements of each institute.

Hello Riya,

To be eligible for NEET 2025 , you need to meet the minimum marks criteria in PCB (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology) aggregate as per NMC rules:

NEET 2025 Eligibility Criteria for PCB Aggregate

• General Category : 50% aggregate in PCB
• OBC/SC/ST Category : 40% aggregate in PCB
• PwD Category : 45% aggregate in PCB
  
  Your PCB Aggregate Calculation
  
  
• Biology : 113/150
• Chemistry : 90/150
• Physics : 68/150
• Total PCB Marks = (113 + 90 + 68) = 271/450
• PCB Percentage = (271/450) × 100 = 60.22%
  
  Are You Eligible for NEET 2025?

YES , you are eligible for NEET 2025 as you have more than 50% in PCB (if you are from the General category ).

If you belong to OBC/SC/ST , you need only 40% , so you are definitely eligible.

Hello,

Yes, if you fail in 12th HSC and the re-exams, you can continue as a repeater next year. However, changing subjects depends on your state board's rules.  Some boards allow subject changes only in private (open) exams, not in regular school exams. You should check with your board's official website or your school to confirm whether you can replace Geography with Biology as a repeater.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you
