Sir…. I have passed 12th Exam With Overall 42.5%……….. And i am ST candidate….. Should i eligble for NEET-UG 2018……
You must have scored at least 40% aggregate marks in PCB (Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology) to be eligible for NEET UG 2018.
Sir I Passed 12th Exam with Physics-34 Chemistry-36 Biology-46 English-54 and i am ST candidate.. sir my question is am i Eligible for Neet UG.??
Abhijeet, according to me, your aggregate is 38% marks which are below 40% marks and hence I think you aren’t eligible. I think you should consider repeating 12th exam. It is called Improvement exam in CBSE board.
Sir what Practical mark consider in Neet UG??
40% in PCB means including your practical marks.
Sir I Passed 12th Exam with Physics-34 Chemistry-36 Biology-46 English-54 and i am ST candidate.. sir my question is am i Eligible for Neet UG.??
Sir i want to do B.A.M.S (Ayurveda), I have good knowledge of Ayurveda. I realized the importance of life now & want to dedicate my onward life in serving people.
1. DoB :20 Dec, 1987
2. XII (2005) without biology 61.33% (Maharashtra)
3. XII (2017) Biology & Hindi (isolated), Now PCB became : 154/300 (Maharashtra)
So please let me know ? Am i eligible for NEET 2018 ? Must reply, your suggestion is most valuable to me.
Hi Deepak,
As per the NEET 2017 eligibility criteria, unfortunately, you are not eligible for NEET 2018.
Thanks for your quick response, do you know any other way by which we can become Ayurveda practitioner ?
Unfortunately Deepak, I don’t know of any alternative admission procedure to Ayurveda at UG level. I think from 2017 onwards, it’s only NEET.
Sir since the exam is offline so when will be the detailed information about the venue given to us.and is the application forms need father’s occupational or monthly matters
Hello Priti,
If here “venue” means Test Centers, then expect the notification by December 2017. For a general idea of test cities, consider NEET 2017 official notification. Normally, only 1 or 2 cities are added or removed every year.
We can’t tell you with certainty, however, annual family income bracket will most likely be asked at least once during the complete admission process.
Regards.
Sir,, if this time same question will be set for each language…???
Sir, I got 69.2% in 12th from u.p.board in 2017 and I got 59 marks in English subject and my d.o.b. is 20-06-2001….. Can I apply for neet 2018…..
Hello Abhishek,
Your DOB falls between 8th May 1993 and 1st Jan 2002 which makes you eligible. Apart from the age factor, you must have studied Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English in 12th standard. If you have studied these subjects then, I think you are eligible for NEET 2018.
However, I still advise you to read the official NEET 2018 information Brochure, whenever it is released.
Regards.
Sir ,my dob is 6- 5- 93…I m eligible for neet 2018 or not ..?
Hello Rahul,
The above-mentioned eligibility criteria are based on NEET UG 2017. Currently, no notification has been published by CBSE, hence it is difficult to comment on your eligibility status.
Regards

Hello Sajan,
The age limit ruling by SC last year was for NEET 2017 only. According to a recent TimesNow article, it is likely that the 25 years age limit might be removed. However, at this point in time, nothing concrete can be commented regarding the age issue..
You can read the TimesNow article at http://www.timesnownews.com/education/article/cbse-neet-2018-online-application-form-tentative-dates-and-important-instructions-for-candidates/117656.

Hi Sajan,
As per the official brochure for NEET 2018, the people above 25 years of age aren’t eligible.
