Can NIOS students appear for NEET with Arts background?
I am currently in Class 12 with an Arts background (English, Alternative English, Geography, Political Science, Psychology, and Education). Over time, I have decided to pursue MBBS and appear for the NEET exam. However, since I do not have the required Science subjects, I plan to take Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) through NIOS via the On-Demand Examination route after completing my Class 12 in Arts. There is conflicting information online regarding NIOS students' eligibility for NEET. Some sources claim that NIOS students are eligible, while others say they are not. I came across a PDF mentioning that the Supreme Court has permitted NIOS students to appear for NEET. I am seeking legal guidance and clarification on this matter.
Yes, as an NIOS student who has completed Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English at the 10+2 level, you are eligible to appear for the NEET examination. The Supreme Court of India has affirmed that students from open schools recognized by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and State Education Boards, which includes NIOS, are eligible for NEET. The National Medical Commission (NMC) has also clarified that NIOS students meeting the requisite subject criteria are eligible for NEET-UG. Therefore, upon completing your 10+2 with the required subjects through NIOS, you can confidently apply for the NEET examination.
Sir, NIOS students are eligible for NEET as per a Supreme Court ruling, provided they meet the required academic criteria (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology) and age limit. Ensure you complete these subjects through NIOS and check the NEET brochure for specific eligibility. You should contact NIOS and NTA for clarification.
