I passed HSC board exam but eligibility criteria not completeded so I'm giving improvement exam next year can I give neet exam
Hello Aspirant,
Yes, you can appear for the NEET 2026 exam even if you are giving your HSC (Class 12) improvement exam next year, as long as you meet the required eligibility criteria by the time of admission. NEET eligibility requires that a candidate must have passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English, securing a minimum of 50% marks in PCB for the General category, 40% for SC/ST/OBC, and 45% for PwD. Since you have passed the HSC exam but did not meet the eligibility marks, you are allowed to improve your score and still apply for NEET. The National Testing Agency (NTA) allows students to appear for NEET if they are reappearing for improvement, provided the final result submitted during counselling fulfills all conditions. Therefore, once your improved marks are declared and if they meet the eligibility cut-off, you will be considered fully eligible for NEET counselling and MBBS/BDS admission.
All the best for your neet exam.
