Revised Eligibility Criteria for NEET UG 2024
Eligibility Criteria for NEET UG 2024: The National Medical Commission has revised the eligibility criteria for NEET UG 2024. According to the revised criteria, candidates who have studied Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology as additional subjects for the 12th qualifying examinations will be eligible to appear in the entrance examination of medicine. Under the earlier terms, candidates applying for NEET exams had to study Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology as compulsory subjects.
The decision on the eligibility review was made after considering the new educational policy. In the meeting held, it was decided that in view of the NEP which allows a certain degree of flexibility in studying various subjects after passing class 12, the previous approach of the Medical Council of India should be changed by allowing students who have taken PCB/Biotechnology as additional subjects to appear in the medical entrance examination.

According to an official notification issued by the commission, the recently issued Graduate Medical Education Regulation 2023 has replaced the previous regulations issued by the MCI for admission to MBBS under which biology/biotechnology or any other required subjects cannot be completed as an additional subject after passing the class 12.
The Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) states that the provisions barring students from appearing in the NEET UG exam were challenged earlier and applications were rejected, further affecting candidates seeking admission to MBBS programs in foreign medical institutions.
Students who fulfill the eligibility criteria after this notification will be allowed to appear for the NEET UG 2024 exams.
