Hello Aspirant,
See right now the case to restore the 25 year as an upper age limit criteria is still pending in Supreme Court so till now there is now upper age limit but if SC passes an order to restore it then you won't be eligible for NEET and if it get restored this year then you won't be able to appear for NEET next year but if it won't passes then you can appear for NEET 2022 BUT there are some other criteria which needs to be fulfilled :
** You must have passed 10+2 from any recognized central/state board.
** English should also be in your curriculum of class 12th and also you should have passed in it.
** You minimum age should be more that or equal to 17 years by December 31st 2022, as per the current eligibility criteria.
** As of now there is no upper age limit for NEET but the case is pending in Hon'ble SC and by 2022 if the verdict comes then the upper age limit may be decided and it can be either 25 or as decided by SC.
