No, Biology (or Biotechnology) is a mandatory subject for appearing in NEET UG. Candidates must have studied Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology along with English in Class 12 or equivalent from a recognized board. Without Biology or Biotechnology as a core subject, a candidate is not eligible to apply for NEET UG. This requirement exists because the exam is designed specifically for admission to medical and allied health science courses where a strong foundation in Biology is essential.
