Muje sirrf bio mai mark mile to kya mai uttirn ho jaungi or mai sc cast se belong karti ho muje kitne marks chahiye neet ke liye

Hello Apurva,

If you have received marks only in Biology and belong to the SC category , the NEET exam evaluates your overall performance, which includes marks from all three subjects: Physics , Chemistry , and Biology . It is not possible to pass the exam with marks in only one subject.

Regarding your question about the minimum marks required to qualify for NEET as an SC category candidate, it varies each year depending on the difficulty level of the exam and the number of candidates appearing . However, on average, candidates from the SC category generally need around 120-150 marks out of 720 in the NEET exam to be considered for qualifying.

The cut-off marks for SC candidates may fluctuate yearly, but you should aim for a score higher than the general trend to secure a seat in government medical colleges. Always check the official updates for the exact cut-off after the exam.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
