Are the NIOS candidates passed 10+2 from Open School eligible for NEET ?


Answer: 

Till today Candidates who have passed 10+2 from Open School or as private candidates shall not be eligible to appear for ‘National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test’. To be eligible to appear in NEET You should have studied for a continuous period of two years as a regular student, studying Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Bio-technology at 10+2 level.


However, this matter is lying before the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi, Hon’ble High Court of Allahabad, Lucknow Bench and Hon’ble High Court of Madhya Pradesh at Jabalpur. The provisions of the regulations disqualifying recognized Open School Board candidates and the candidates who have studied Biology/Biotechnology as an additional Subject has been struck down. Keeping in view of this, candidates who have passed 10+2 level with Biology as an additional subject will also be eligible for MBBS Entrance Examination (as per Hon’ble High Court Order No. 2341/-W/DHC/WRIT/D-1/2019 dated 24/09/2019 in the Writ Petition (C) No. 6773/2019).


The Medical Council of India (MCI) has preferred Special Leave Petitions before the Hon’ble Supreme Court and Appeals in the Hon’ble High Courts. Therefore, the candidature of candidates in the NEET (UG)-2020 who have passed the qualifying examinations i.e. 10+2 from National Institute of Open Schooling or State Open Schools or as private candidates from recognized State Boards; or with Biology/Biotechnology as additional subject shall be allowed but subject to the outcome of Special Leave Petitions/Appeals filed by the Medical Council of India).


Further, CBSE candidates who have opted for Biology as an additional subject, private candidates, and distant learning candidates, all these candidates are eligible for NEET and hence, can appear in the NEET Exam (National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test - UG), which is conducted by NTA, like a regular candidate. He/she should have 50% marks in your intermediate as an unreserved candidate and 45% for reserved candidates (OBC/SC/ST).
