NEET Eligibility Criteria: A Quick Checklist

Before registering for NEET, confirm the basics: a Class 12 pass (or appearing) with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology, English as a subject, and the minimum aggregate marks set for your category in the official notification for that year. There is also typically an age criterion and a cap on the number of attempts for certain categories, both of which are set by the conducting body and can change year to year — always check the current official notification rather than relying on a previous year’s criteria. If you’re applying under a reserved category or for a specific state quota, keep your caste, income, or domicile certificates ready well before the application window opens, since document verification delays are one of the most common last-minute problems.
