Yes a PCM student can definitely appear for the NEET UG exam. You must ensure for the exam is that you must have passed class 12 with physics chemistry biology and English as main subject. Even if you didn't study Biology as a main subject you should  have studied it as an additional subject. You can also refer to the official notification by the NTA exam for most accurate information. You must study Biology from the NCERT books and other reference books to cover syllabus. NEET ELIGIBILTY

Hello,

Yes, a PCM candidate can take the NEET examination provided they qualify by specific eligibility criteria. To take NEET, students need to have had studies in Biology or Biotechnology besides Physics and Chemistry while doing Class 12 in board exams. For people who had not covered biology in regular classes, appearing for biology as an auxiliary subject under NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) or some acknowledged state board will work well.

To be eligible, students have to achieve at least 50% aggregate marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/ Biotechnology for the general category, whereas for SC/ST/OBC students, it would be 40% and for PwD, it is 45%. The qualifying examination in Biology must be done before NEET application deadlines. Please ensure relevant documents for the eligibility of Biology are kept ready for the application and counseling processes.
