Generally, candidates are eligible for NEET exam if they have PCMB in Class 12th through NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling). The eligibility criteria for NEET exam is candidates must have passed the Class 12 or equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Biotechnology, and English as core subjects from any state board or recognised board. However, with less than 50% in PCB, it is difficult to be eligible for attempting NEET. Candidates must have atleast aggregate of 50% marks (40% for SC, ST, OBC category) in PCB subjects in class 12th.

Marking done by NIOS Board is fair and lenient. After the evaluators are done with the checking, the answer sheet goes for another round of random checking by the supervisor, to ensure it's fairness.
Thus, students must not worry about the strict/lenient checking by the evaluators and focus on completing their syllabus and ensuring that their preparataion strategy is on point so that they do not have to worry about the checking.
