NEET Eligibility Marks in Class 12 (2026): Complete Criteria Explained by VVT Coaching

VVT Coaching Chennai – Ranked #1 Best NEET&JEE Coaching Centre by Times Now!

Before dreaming of MBBS, BDS, or AYUSH seats, every NEET aspirant must clear one non-negotiable checkpoint — Class 12 eligibility marks.

Many students prepare well for NEET but lose an attempt due to lack of clarity about eligibility rules. This blog explains NEET Class 12 eligibility marks clearly, category-wise, with examples, common mistakes, and guidance on how to stay eligibility-safe with VVT Coaching.

Why Class 12 Marks Are Crucial for NEET

NEET is not just about cracking a competitive exam.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) ensures that every candidate:

Has studied the required subjects
Meets the minimum academic standard
Is prepared for the rigor of medical education

Even if you score high in NEET, failure to meet Class 12 eligibility leads to disqualification during counselling.

Mandatory Subjects in Class 12 for NEET

To be eligible, candidates must have passed Class 12 or equivalent with:

Physics
Chemistry
Biology / Biotechnology
English

Biology is compulsory.
Without Biology in Class 12, you are NOT eligible for NEET under any category.

NEET Eligibility Marks in Class 12 (Category-Wise)

Below is the official eligibility table, preserved exactly in structure, as requested:

Category	Minimum Aggregate Marks Required (PCB)
General / UR (incl. Gen-EWS)	50%
OBC-NCL	40%
SC	40%
ST	40%
PwBD / PwD	40%

Key Notes:

Percentage is calculated only on Physics, Chemistry, and Biology
English marks are not counted in the aggregate
Overall Class 12 percentage is irrelevant, only PCB matters

How to Calculate Your PCB Eligibility Percentage

Follow this simple formula:

PCB Percentage=Physics+Chemistry+BiologyTotalPCBMarks×100\text{PCB Percentage} = \frac{Physics + Chemistry + Biology}{Total PCB Marks} \times 100PCB Percentage=TotalPCBMarksPhysics+Chemistry+Biology×100

Example:

Physics: 60
Chemistry: 55
Biology: 135
Total PCB = 250 / 300

PCB Percentage = 83.3%
Eligible for NEET under all categories

What If I Score Exactly the Minimum Required Marks?

You are fully eligible.

50% (General) = Eligible
40% (OBC/SC/ST) = Eligible
45% (General-PwD) = Eligible

There is no margin requirement above the cutoff.

Eligibility for Repeaters & Improvement Candidates

Yes, repeaters and improvement students are eligible, provided:

You improve PCB marks to meet eligibility
You pass the required subjects
Eligibility is fulfilled before counselling

Many successful NEET candidates clear eligibility through improvement exams, especially in Biology or Chemistry.

Board-Wise Eligibility Clarification

NEET eligibility applies to students from:

CBSE
ICSE
State Boards
NIOS (with PCB + English)

Open schooling is accepted only if subjects meet NTA norms.
VVT mentors help verify eligibility for such cases early.

Common Eligibility Mistakes Students Make

Assuming total Class 12 percentage matters
Ignoring category-wise differences
Confusing board eligibility with NEET eligibility
Applying without Biology
Not planning improvement exams despite borderline marks

These mistakes can cost one full NEET attempt.

Final Thoughts

NEET eligibility marks in Class 12 are non-negotiable.

No matter how strong your NEET preparation is:
Eligibility comes first.

To stay safe:

Focus on PCB marks
Understand your category cutoff
Plan improvements early if needed
Align board exams with NEET strategy

With VVT Coaching’s structured guidance, students don’t just prepare hard, they prepare correctly, confidently, and eligibility-secure.
