Hello Aspirant,

Yes as per the information bulletin you can appear for NEET 2021 even if you have Biology as your additional/optional subject. Because until the Hon'ble SC pass it's judgement the candidates having Biology/Bio-technolgy as an additional or optional subject can appear for NEET 2021.

But there is another condition that you must have passed/be passing your class 12th/PUC with minimum aggregate of 50% in PCB if you belongs to Unreserved category, 40% for OBC/SC/ST and 45% for PwD certificate holders. Also note that in your curriculum English subject should also be there.

Additional and optional means same in regards to the class 12th subjects so not to worry.

Also there is age limit so if your age is between 17 to 25 years before December 31st 2021 and also fulfil above criterion then you can appear for NEET UG 2021.
