IB syllabus doesn’t allow students to take three science subjects – How will they fulfill the eligibility for NEET specifically when they want to study medicine abroad
Question
As you may be aware, IB syllabus doesn’t allow students to take three science subjects. Also, the medicine studies overseas don’t require students to study all science subjects(PCB) to study medicine courses. However, As of 2019, for indian students to study overseas, qualifying neet is mandatory. While, qualifying neet is understandable but to apply for neet, Physics, Chemistry and biology is mandatory. What would an IB student, who doesn’t want to study medicine in india, do? The students may be willing to qualify neet (even though they will study overseas) but a PCB at grade 12 requirement will disqualify them for applying to NEET. What would such students do? Could we request for some direction in such cases?

The eligibility for NEET has been challenged in the supreme court and the same is pending consideration but there is no distinction as such which has been taken in the petition as regards the Board studied by the students. For IB Board students, it is advisable to first represent the specific case of the IB Board students seeking some kind of concession or clarification from MCI or MHRD and thereafter if no change or concession is awarded, other appropriate legal remedy for the IB Board students wishing to study overseas can be taken up.
