Detailed Solution

No, 75% marks in Class 12 are not compulsory for NEET eligibility.

For NEET 2025, the National Testing Agency (NTA) requires candidates to have passed Class 12 or its equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English as core subjects. The minimum aggregate marks required in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) are:

50% for General (Unreserved) category
40% for OBC/SC/ST and PwD categories

There is no 75% aggregate requirement for NEET, unlike certain engineering entrance exams such as JEE Main. The eligibility criteria focus solely on the aggregate marks in the specified science subjects (PCB), not the overall percentage in all subjects or a 75% benchmark.

Additionally, there is no upper age limit for NEET, and candidates can attempt the exam as many times as they wish, provided they meet the eligibility requirements.
