Hi there! It's understandable to be concerned about your eligibility for the NEET exam given your subject choices in class 11th. Let's clarify the requirements.

The basic eligibility criteria for appearing in the NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) exam primarily revolves around your performance in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (which includes Botany and Zoology) in your Class 12th examination.

According to the current regulations set by the National Medical Commission (NMC), which governs medical education in India, to be eligible for NEET-UG, you must have passed your Class 12th or equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English as core subjects. You also need to have obtained a certain minimum percentage of marks in these subjects taken together. For the general category, this is usually 50%, while it's lower for reserved categories.

The fact that you did not have Physics and Maths in your Class 11th generally does not disqualify you from appearing for NEET, provided you have Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (or Biotechnology) as subjects in your Class 12th. The eligibility criteria focus on your performance in the qualifying Class 12th examination.

So, if you have chosen Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (or Biotechnology) along with English as your subjects in Class 12th and you meet the required minimum percentage in your board exams, you should be eligible to appear for the NEET exam.

However, it's crucial to ensure that you are indeed studying Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (or Biotechnology) in your Class 12th. If you have opted for different subjects in Class 12th as well, then you might not meet the eligibility criteria for NEET-UG.

To be absolutely certain and to get the most accurate information, it's always best to refer to the official NEET Information Bulletin that is released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) each year before the exam. This bulletin contains all the detailed eligibility criteria, syllabus, exam pattern, and other important information. You can usually find this bulletin on the official NTA NEET website when the application process begins.



In summary, your subject choices in Class 11th are usually not the deciding factor for NEET eligibility. What matters more is having Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (or Biotechnology) in your Class 12th and meeting the required percentage criteria in your board examination. Make sure to check the official NEET Information Bulletin for the most up-to-date and accurate eligibility rules for NEET-UG 2025.
