You need to have studied biology, chemistry, and physics in your 10+2 in order to be qualified for NEET. Biology is something you can study as an elective, if not as a fundamental topic. However, you ought to have studied biology and received at least a 50% overall in these three subjects throughout your 10+2 examination. It is 40% for OBC, SC, and ST, 45% for PWD, and 50% for the general category. Unfortunately, MPHW does not offer any of these three disciplines, hence you are not eligible for NEET.
