Yes, Upper age limit is removed by SC for NEET exam on 31st March 2017. So, it is expected that it will remain same and there will be no age limit in NEET 2018 exam as well.
Good luck!!
So as of now you should be able to appear for the Neet examination irrespective of water ages since it is not bound by any upper age limit for the examination until and unless the supreme court makes an amendment of its verdict in this regard in the subsequent years.
Yes there is no upper limit for Neet. As laid down by the supreme court.
You can refer to the eligibility criteria of neet at careers360

Upper age limit restriction has been removed by the supreme court
So if above 17 years and other eligibility criteria are fullfilled you can give the exam
For 2018 there is no upper age limit . and it would be there for coming years too till there is no change in accordance with by supreme court
I hope it helps
