  • Tie-Breaking Criterion 3 : The better chemistry percentile will take precedence.
  • Tie-Breaking Criteria 4 : If the first three criteria are unable to break the tie, the higher physics percentile will take precedence.
  • Tie-Breaking Criterion 5 : The quantity of wrong answers in biology will be prioritized as the fifth criterion. Students will be given precedence if they have fewer incorrect answers in biology.
  • Tie-Breaking Criterion 6 : In the event that the previous criteria are not met, preference is given to a smaller percentage of erroneous answers in the NEET chemistry section.
  • Tie-Breaking Criterion 7 : The amount of wrong answers serves as the last chance to break ties.
