Hi

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 or at least 45 % aggregate in PCB in case of PH candidate.

Also,  students with  Biology as an additional /optional subject are provisionally eligible for Neet examination until the supreme court give its judgement over the eligibility of students with Biology as an additional subject.

But ,

it is unsure that you will be eligible by just passing your Biology later on after 12th from a different board i. e NIOS 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 i. e the optional subject in your 12th board examination.

So, if you want to be eligible for Neet ,  I would 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  i. e 50 % for general or at least 40 % for obc/sc/st or at least 45 % for ph then you will be eligible for neet and can get admission in MBBS on basis of marks obtained by you in the Neet examination .

And if you are appear for 12th NIOS examination with all the five subject you should choose the code 0 1 because it is for those who are either appearing for 12th  examination with subjects including physics ,chemistry, biology, English or have appeared for 12th examination but  result is awaited.
