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.

No, a Homeopathy course is not equal to an MBBS degree. MBBS is a traditional medical degree focused on allopathic medicine, which involves the use of conventional treatments, surgeries, and pharmaceuticals. On the other hand, a Homeopathy course focuses on homeopathic medicine, which is based on using highly diluted substances to stimulate the body's natural healing processes.

Candidates can check the table below to see the comparison between the two courses.

Yes, absolutely. You can definitely secure admission basis NEET scores. In fact, NEET is very much required as primary entrance exam for Medical and Dental college admissions.

But, a point to note is that some colleges have different admission criteria for Homoeopathy courses. So, students must check the official website of these colleges to understand the admission requisites.

Hope this helps!

No, unfortunately not. The cutoff for PGIMS Rohtak generally requires 580+ marks for the general category. With a score of 250 in NEET, you are unlikely to get a seat in PGIMS Rohtak under the general EWS category. However, you can get admission to some colleges like Johrat Medical College and Hospital, Johrat, Government Medical College, Siddipet, etc.
