Hi

Yes, if you don't want to take a complete drop to prepare for your Neet examination after 12th then yes you can pursue basic nutrition or any other degree course  along with your Neet preparation.

This is because,

There is no rule which says that if you enroll for BSC nutrition or any graduation you become ineligible for Neet examination, as to be eligible for neet what all one needs is :

*to must have passed in English and in both the theory and practical of PCB i.e Physics, Chemistry and Biology individually with at least 50  % in aggregate of PCB ( in theory +practical) in 12th examination if belong to general category , or  at least 40% in aggregate of PCB if belongs to Obc/ Sc /st.

Begin a career in Medical and Allied Sciences. Admissions Open for

Apply to Emversity Allied Health Sciences programs

So, if you fulfill this criteria then you are definitely eligible for Neet examination even if you enroll yourself in BSC nutrition or any other course

*Minimum age limit is 17 years old ,so  to be eligible for neet 2021 one has to be at least 17 years old by  31st  December 2021


*Also, there is no upper age limit for Neet examination
