If you failed your 12th as an IB student, you cannot give NEET 2025 unless you meet the eligibility criteria. NEET requires candidates to pass 12th-grade or equivalent exams with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English as core subjects. A minimum of 50% aggregate in PCB (40% for reserved categories) is mandatory. You must first clear your 12th or equivalent exams. Once you meet these requirements, you will be eligible to apply for NEET in the future.

Hello aspirant,

NEET is open to all applicants, including foreign nationals, PIOs, OCIs, Indian citizens, and NRIs. According to the NEET eligibility requirements, you must have taken or passed the 12th grade board test or another qualifying exam before you may sit for the NEET 2025 exam.

So you first need to pass in class 12th to be eligible for NEET.

Thank you

1. IB students can appear for NEET only if they complete their IB diploma with the subjects equivalent to the Indian curriculum .

2. the key subjects to the curriculum are physics , chemistry , biology/biotechnology  and English .

to prepare for NEET as an IB student one needs to understand and study according to the following criteria ,

1.the NEET syllabus covers the NCERT 11th std and 12th std PCB (physics , chemistry , biology) .

2. an IB student need to keep in. ind while studying that their study plan covers the topics outlined in the NEET syllabus .
