Hey!
As per the eligibilty criteria for NEET 2021 for SC category, candidate must have atleast 40% in 10+2 with PCB. So, you are eligible to write NEET 2021 exam but you need to work hard and score good marks in NEET so as to grab a good medical college in India. To know more, visit here:

Thankyou
Doneet counseling required high intermediate or 12th percentage to give admission in medical Collegemy pcb 44.7 inter 53%can get mbbs to admission in medical College by neet counseling in neet exam with 550above how do neet counseling done and how much inter percentage required for neet counselling
No, you don't need high percentage in your 12th to be eligible for neet counselling.
You just need to be eligible for neet examination with percentage in pcb i. e you should have passed 12th board examination with physics, chemistry ,biology/biotechnology and English and must have got at least 50 % in aggregate of PCB i.e Physics, Chemistry and Biology /biotechnology in 12th examination if belongs to general category , or at least 40% in aggregate of PCB if belongs to Obc/ Sc /stcategory.
Now,
Your aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology is
= 44 . 7 % i.e lesser than 50% , but more than 40 % so you are not eligible for Neet if you belong to general category but if you belong to OBC/ SC or St category then yes you are eligible for Neet examination.
From your previous question that I answered, I know you are from obc category. So, don't worry with 44.7 % in pcb you are eligible for neet and neet counselling too and after qualifying Neet examination you can get admission in Medical Colleges on the basis of rank or marks obtained by you in NEET
Your profile suggests that your domicile state is AP.
So, to give you example for eligibility for neet counselling, below is the eligibility criteria for AP neet counselling:-
* must be 10+2 or its equivalent passed with PCB i. e Physics, Chemistry, Biology (Botany, Zoology)/Biotechnology and English
* Percentage requirement in PCB for different categories in 12th:-
-)OC - 50% marks
-)BC/SC/ST - 40%
-)OC PH - 45%
*Age :- should be 17 years by December of the year of admission i. e 31st December 2021 in case if you are going to appear in neet 2021
* Must have qualified neet exam. Qualifying cut off for different categories is :-
-)OC- 50th Percentile in neet ug
-)BC- 40th Percentile in NEET ug
-)SC/ST - 40th Percentile in neet ug
-)OC PH - 40th Percentile in neet UG
You can check the same at official website of Dr NTR UNIVERSITY of health Sciences which conducts AP neet counselling , the link is provided below :-
http://ntruhs.ap.nic.in/Admissions/index.html
And yes you have chances to get a seat with 550 marks.
For example,
in neet 2019, 449 marks for obc category was the cut off marks to get a seat in government medical college under under AP state quota AU region and it was for Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Srikakulam
I hope that I was able to clear all your doubts.
Thank you

Hi
No, as of now neither Neet 2021 examination date nor Neet application form has been released
If I tell you about examination date, then
NEET examination is normally conducted on the 1st sunday of May every year, so considering that your neet 2021 examination is expected to be conducted on 2nd May 2021 .
But yes,
There are also chances that your neet 2021 might be delayed due to covid. Also, now that CBSE board examination are going to start from 4th May chances of Neet examination to be delayed has increased , but this cannot be said with surety , so for now we need to wait for the notification from NTA regarding the same
