    Yes, a Class 12 student can appear for NEET. The eligibility criteria set by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for NEET exam is:

    • You must have passed the Class 12 board exam from a recognised board with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) as core subjects.
    • You must have secured a minimum of 50% marks in PCB subjects combined in your Class 12 exam. (The minimum marks requirement is lower for reserved categories like SC, ST, and OBC).
    • There's no upper age limit for appearing in NEET. However, you must be at least 17 years old as of December 31 of the exam year.
  • A Class 12 student can appear for NEET, provided he/she fulfills the eligibility criteria for the exam stated by the National Testing Agency (NTA), the exam conducting body. Although there is no upper age limit for appearing in NEET, but the lower age limit is still applicable. A candidate must of at least 17 years as of December 31 of the academic year. Unless candidates meet the lower age limit criterion, they would not be considered eligible to appear for NEET for the particular year. The other factors of eligibility include studying Physics, Chemistry and Biology as core subjects.
