Hi, I appeared for my Intermediate Board exams under ISC Board and failed in Mathematics paper though I have 50% above in PCB subject group and I have got the Pass Certificate too. So, am I eligible for NEET examination?

NEET stands for National Eligibility cum Entrance Test and the minimum education required to appear in the same examination is a Class 12th in Science stream with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as main subjects with at least 50% marks in aggregate in PCB group subjects from a recognised board of education. Further, there is provision of marks relaxation upto 10% in case of reserved category candidates.

To apply for the NEET ,candidate has to clear all the subjects associated in PCB(physics ,chemistry,biology)) in 12th grade with minimum of 50% score.
