Hi Aspirant,

Greetings

NEET is a entrance exam conducted by NTA particularly for admission in courses like MBBS,BDS, BAMS etc

The minimum requirement to appear in NEET to complete 10+2 or appearing from a well recognised board with subjects Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology.
The eligibility criteria of percentage to appear in NEET is as followed

UR/EWS- 50%

OBC/SC/ST- 40%

UR(PH)-45%

Since,you got 142 in PCB so the percentage will be 47.3 so if you belongs to the UR/EWS category, you are not eligible to appear in NEET exam.
But,if you are from categories like OBC/SC/ST or UR(PH) you are eligible to appear in the NEET entrance exam. Thank you

Hi


Which category do you belong to?

*******To be eligible for neet, you need to pass 12th board examination with physics, chemistry ,biology/biotechnology and English and must have got:-


  • at least  50  % in aggregate of PCB  i.e Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology  in 12th examination  if belongs to general category

  • at least  40%  in aggregate of PCB if belongs to  Obc/ Sc /st category

  • at least 45 % in aggregate of PCB in case of pwd candidates to be eligible.

Now,

Your aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology  is


= 142

=( 142/  300 x 100 )%

= 47.3 % i.e lesser than 50% , but more than 40 % so you are not eligible for Neet if you belong to general/ews category but if you belong to OBC/ SC or St or  pwd category then yes you are eligible for Neet examination

Also,

******** to be eligible for neet one has to be at least 17 years old  by 31st December  of the year of appearing
