Students who have opted for the PCM (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) stream in Class 11 and 12 can still become doctors now in the country. As per the latest guidelines by the National Medical Commission (NMC), the PCM stream students can clear the biology/biotechnology examination as an additional subject at 10+2 level from any recognised board to become a doctor eventually.
The new NMC rule says that students who pursued physics, chemistry, biology, or biotechnology along with English even as an additional subject after passing class 12 from duly recognised boards will be eligible to appear in the NEET-UG test.
The decision will apply even to those students whose applications were previously rejected, NMC added.
