Yes, candidates who are appearing for their Class 12 board examinations in the same year as the NEET UG exam are eligible to apply. However, they must pass the qualifying examination with the required minimum marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology before the admission process begins. If a candidate fails to meet the minimum eligibility criteria after the results are declared, they will not be eligible for admission even if they qualify in NEET.
