No, RBSE student are not eligible for NEET entrance exam.

NEET stands for National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test.

Your minimum age should be above 17 years.

NEET stands for the National Eligibility cum Entrance test and was conducted earlier by the Central Board of Secondary Education for the MBBS and BDS course. But now this entrance exam is replaced by the All India Pre Medical test for undergraduate courses like MBBS and BDS.

Hi, I am NRI lives in US, my query is that I have taken AP Chemistry and Physics in 11th grade and will be taking AP Biology in the 12th. For all the three sciences we have labs. Also, in my school, we cannot take all three sciences together in 11th and 12th. Taking this information into consideration, can you please let me know if I'm eligible for NEET?
