Hello Sir/ Ma'am, my DOB is less than 17 years in High school certificate but correct in Birth certificate, could I fill NEET form.

Dear aspirant,

As you have mentioned that your age is less than 17 years in the high school certificate and it is correct in your birth certificate so I would tell you that you need to change your birth date in your high school certificate.

It is there in the neet eligibility criteria the candidate should be atleast of 17 years of age as on 31st December, 2021. Otherwise this could create a problem unecessarily.

Hi

Actually, you need to fill your date of birth as per your 10th certificate.

Anyway, what is your date of birth in 10th certificate?

It's completely ok even if you are not 17 years old right now as per the certificate you do not need to be 17 years old while filling the Neet application form rather you need to be at least 17 years old as on 31st December 2021.

So,

Even if you are less than 17 years old but will be 17 years old by 31st December 2021 as per 10th certificate then you are eligible for neet 2021 and thus, can fill Neet 2021 application form.

For your reference,

Neet eligibility criteria is provided below:-
