Hello Kavya,
Here is an overview of your problem, and its solution :-
-
Filling NEET Form
- Eligibility : NEET requires you to have passed 12th with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology from a recognized board. Your CBSE 12th result is sufficient.
- Details to Fill : Use your CBSE 12th details for NEET application. Do not mention your UP Board private attempt at math if you're dropping it.
-
Filling JEE Form
- Eligibility : JEE requires Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in 12th. If you're dropping the UP Board Math exam, you won't meet this criterion, and applying for JEE won't be valid.
-
Impact of Dropping UP Board Math
- It won't affect your CBSE 12th result or eligibility for NEET because they're independent. Dropping the math exam simply means you won't qualify for math-related entrances like JEE.
-
Simplify Your Decision
- Focus on NEET if you're inclined towards medicine or biology-related fields.
- Avoid confusion by leaving the UP Board math attempt officially incomplete; it won't interfere with your CBSE credentials.
Conclusion : Drop the math attempt without worry and focus on NEET preparation using your CBSE bio stream qualifications.

-
Document Verification :
- Carry your Class 10 and Class 12 certificates during counselling. Your BSc discontinuation certificate (CLC) may not be relevant unless specifically asked.
-
Focus on NEET Scores :
- Your NEET UG score and category rank hold primary importance.
-
Explain if Needed :

So if you fail in final year BSc exams it doesn't matter and if you secure a seat in a medical college you can take the admission without any problem.the only problem is the certificates you need to present at the time of document verification.if you fail to provide your documents your seat may get cancelled.
You need to collect your all documents from the college if they coperate you can get certificate easily but if not request them. If you are taking admission on the basis of 12th marks then it may create problem in future so try to get certificate from college.
