Hi, I am about to completed my B.Tech Biotechnology but I am not satisfied and I wish to study MBBS. Can I proceed with MBBS now? I did not studied Biology in 12th?

NEET is conducted to get admission in MBBS course.

The eligibility to appear in the examination is that candidate must have passed or appearing for 12th with PCB as main paper.

So, if you have not studied Biology in std 12th than, you are not eligible to appear in the NEET and to get admission in MBBS course.

Yes, it is possible. You have to appear for NEET entrance exam and qualify that exam to grab your seat in MBBS.
Thank you.

----To study MBBS, the candidate should have done 10 + 2 with physics, chemistry and Biology as compulsory subjects.
As you haven't studied Biology in your intermediate hence, you are not eligible to pursue MBBS course.

You can not pursue MBBS course and apply for NEET exam without studying Biology.
