Hello. I am a 12th class student studying pcm from state board. I have my friends who gave nios and normal board simultaneously and it was totally acceptable by any college. Now even i want to give nios board in pcb or pcmb stream this year. The nios board conducts exam twice march-april and sept-oct. Therefore i will write the Sept-oct shift and get my board certificate. Since there is no age limit for neet, next year i will give neet exam prepared. NOTE: NEET ACCEPTS THE NIOS BOARD.

Ans: Hi Akshaya,

The first and foremost point is that you shouldn't follow your friends blindly. This generation is heavily influenced by their peers and often disregards the advice of older individuals, which can negatively impact the stability of your life.

I understand that you enjoy watching a lot of movies, which may be why you want to pursue your 12th grade through both NIOS and the State Board.

To be eligible for the NEET exam, you are required to study biology, along with physics and chemistry. Currently, you are focusing on PCM (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) and are not studying biology. Therefore, you MUST enroll in NIOS to meet the eligibility criteria set by NEET.

Wishing you all the best!

Hello, I have completed my 10th-12th class from abroad and I am preparing for NEET 2023. The school followed American Credit system and I have school graduation certificate and my grades were accepted by CBSE equivalence. However, I am concerned regarding the eligibility criteria for NEET as I had Chemistry in only 11th, Physics in only 12th and Bio in 10th and 12th standard due to the school system offering separate courses each year. I did not have PCB in a single year but I have completed all PCB high-school equivalent courses. Am I still eligible? If not, then what should I do? Is NIOS an option for me?

Ans: Hi
In my understanding, NEET eligibility requires one to have taken Physics, Chem and Bio in one sitting. Since that is not an option in your case, I would suggest you reach out to some med schools that you aspire to attend and explain this situation to them. Many a times, they agree. If nothing works, complete the NIOS with all three subjects in one sitting.
In all probability, it should not be an issue if it has been considered a CBSE equivalent.

Regarding NIOS, what sort of course or On demand exam should I choose to get a qualification certificate for PCB before NEET 2024? For context, I have done my high school from abroad and taken PCB in separate years, but I have an aggregate of 91%. However, NEET eligibility criteria needs one to have completed PCB together in the last year. In order to counter that, do I need to repeat the whole 12th from NIOS or just separate PCB on demand exams would suffice?

Ans: Just a PCB on demand would suffice as you already have other subjects to exhibit evidence for your high school equivalence

I have passed +2 in commerce, and english, bengali in languages, all from West Bengal Board of Higher secondary education. Now if I give PCB from NIOS on demand exam, will i be eligible for NEET??

Ans: Hi,

I have some doubts regarding your query. Based on the information available, candidates who have completed their +2 from NIOS are eligible to write NEET (as allowed in 2024). However, your situation is different because you have completed +2 in Commerce through WBB and now wish to complete +2 in PCB through NIOS.

Since you have already completed +2 in Commerce, joining +2 in PCB would be considered a second attempt. Given that this is a second attempt in education, I believe the medical council may not allow you to gain admission to a medical program.

I am pcm 12th student giving HSC board exam in 2025 then can I give neet exam by taking biology exam through nios? But I don't know the procedure of that please guide me

Ans: Welcome back
Yes, as a PCM student, you can still appear for the NEET exam by taking Biology through NIOS to meet the eligibility criteria for NEET. To be eligible for NEET, you need to have studied PCB in your 12th grade, with Biology being a compulsory subject. But you can take Biology as an additional subject through NIOS. who allows students to take Biology as an additional subject. You will need to appear for the Biology exam through NIOS alongside your regular studies. Contact your nearest NIOS center or online for admission. Do this process as early as possible.
