NMC mandates NEET qualification (any passing score) to pursue MBBS abroad. Most Bangladesh universities accept students with scores as low as 300–350. We regularly help students with scores between 300–450 secure seats in NMC-approved colleges. However, a higher score gives more university options.
You need a minimum of 50% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) in Class 12. For SC/ST/OBC category students, the minimum is 40%. The 12th marks play an important role in university selection alongside your NEET score.
