Respected sir/madame, I have completed my 'PLUS TWO' with 'ARTS' group and after that I completed 'BA HISTORY'.But now I am really interested in doing MBBS.Is it possible for me to write NEET either in 2021 or 2022?

--- NO, you are not eligible to write NEET examination after completing 12th with Arts group because as per the minimum educational qualification required to appear in medical entrance examination, is that the candidate should have completed 12th from recognised board with physics, chemistry and Biology as main subjects.
So, you are not eligible to appear in this examination and to pursue MBBS course.

--- NIOS stands for National Institute of Open Schooling.
It is a valid and recognised board and has recognition all over India as well as in abroad.

NEET refers to National Eligibility cum Entrance Test and foe appearing in the same examination an applicant is required to have completed his/her Class 12th in Science stream with Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English as main subjects with 50% marks is aggregate in PCB group (or 40% marks in case of reserved category candidates) from a recognized board of education.

So, once you complete your Class 12th in Science stream with PCB combination with the minimum qualifying marks required for appearing in NEET even through open schooling from NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) board which is one of the central board of education , you will be eligible for appearing in NEET as far as the educational requirement for the same examination is concerned.
