Infact you are being a PCB I highly recommend you to don't choose Maths because it is very tough and involve a lot of Maths. So then why you need again in NEET. So you can. Choose Maths as a optional subject why because you are already having PCB in your 11 class. So I think Maths is not compulsory subject for NEET. As you are PCB you can solve those basic mathematics questions with you knowledge. Hope this information helps you.

Q: What is a good score in NEET?
In general, a score of 600+ is considered to be good for NEET which will ensure a high rank.
