Required age criteria for the candidates to be eligible for NEET Exam is 17 years to 25 years.

Relaxation is there in upper age limit upto 5 years for the candidates of SC/ST category.

Hence, as per this criteria, you are eligible to appear for NEET Exam.

But to confirm final eligibility, you should fulfill required academic qualification as well.

Only candidates who have completed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/ Biotechnology and Chemistry are eligible to appear for NEET Exam.

In addition, candidates of General category should score a minimum of 50% of marks in 10+2 with these subjects.

Candidates of OBC/ST/SC category should score a minimum of 40% of marks.

For the candidates of PH/PWD, they need to score minimum of 45% of marks.

If you fulfill this academic criteria as well, then you are surely eligible to appear for NEET Exam.

Have good preparation for this exam and crack it.
