    I actually put best of 5 marks based on CBSE ( 90.8%) instead of PCB aggregate (89.2%) during my neet UG registration. I uploaded the original documents of my class 12 marksheet. will it cancel my candidature during my counselling? and do i have to make an affidavit for that, clerical error.

    Hello Dear Student,

    During NEET UG registration , candidates must enter the PCB aggregate percentage (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) and not the “Best of 5” percentage.

    In your case, entering 90.8% instead of 89.2% is likely a calculation mistake rather than an eligibility issue, since both are above the required cutoff
