Sir, I have qualified my 12th Board exam with aggregate 50% in PCB but I scored only 44% in English papers. So, am I eligible to apply for NEET 2020 exam session?

Yes, you can appear for the NEET 2020 examination.

The eligibility to appear in the examination is that candidate must have passed 12th with minimum 50% aggregate in PCB with English as main subject.

The minimum age limit to get admission in the course after qualifying in the NEET is 17 years. No upper age limit for the admission.

NEET stands for National Eligibility cum Entrance Test and to appear in the same examination, the minimum education required is a Class 12th with English, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as main subjects with at least 50% marks (or 40% marks in case of reserved category candidates) in aggregate in PCB group subjects from a recognized board of education.

So, having managed to complete your Class 12th with 50% marks in PCB group subject, you are eligible to apply for NEET 2020 irrespective of your marks in English.
