Yes, the marks obtained in the 12th board exams are considered in the NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) examination.
NEET is the national level medical entrance exam for admission to undergraduate medical courses (MBBS/BDS) in various government and private medical colleges across India. The exam is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on behalf of the Medical Council of India (MCI).
In order to be eligible to appear for the NEET exam, a candidate must have passed their 10+2 or equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology as mandatory subjects. The candidate must have also obtained a minimum aggregate of 50% marks in these subjects (40% for reserved categories).
The NEET exam consists of 180 objective type questions from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology, and the total marks for the exam are 720. The selection of candidates is done based on their performance in the NEET exam, along with their 12th board marks.
The NEET application form requires candidates to enter their 12th board marks, which are used for calculating the All India Rank (AIR) of the candidates. The AIR is the ranking of the candidates based on their performance in the NEET exam, compared to other candidates who have appeared for the exam.
Therefore, it is crucial for candidates to perform well in both their 12th board exams and the NEET exam in order to secure admission to a good medical college. The weightage given to 12th board marks in NEET varies from college to college and is usually mentioned in the admission notification of the respective colleges.
In conclusion, the 12th board marks are an important factor in the NEET exam and are used to determine the eligibility of candidates to appear for the exam, as well as to calculate their AIR for admission to medical colleges.
