I am born on 23rd Feb, 2008 can I give my NEET exam in 2024 ?

Hello aspirant,

I hope that you are doing absolutely great.

With reference to your above mentioned query, I would like  to tell you that since you were born on 23rd feb, 2008, then by 2024 your age would be 16 years. So, it is not possible to give NEET exam at age of 16. I don't think you can give NEET exam by 2024, because according to the rules of NEET the age of the applicant must be minimum 17 years to be eligible. At the age of 16 years, they won't allow you to fill the application form . So, by 2025 you are allowed to give your NEET exam.

Further, the eligibility criteria for NEET examination is given as follows :

Qualifying Exam for NEET  -

• Candidates must have passed 10+2 or equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English as core subjects from a recognized board.

• Class 12 or equivalent appearing aspirants are also eligible to apply for NEET.

NEET age limit - Candidates must have completed 17 years as on December 31, 2024.

NEET eligibility marks  -

he class 12 percentage required for NEET 2022 exam is separate for each category and can be listed as under. NEET eligibility marks in class 12 to be considered are aggregate marks only for PCB subjects

• UR - 50%,

• OBC/SC/ST - 40%,

• PWD - 45%

Maximum Number of Attempts for NEET - There are no restrictions on the maximum NEET attempt limit.

And the candidates must be Indian Citizen.

But ,

You fail to  fulfill this criteria  ,

As with your date of birth , you will be 17 years old on 23rd february 2025    i. e after  31st December 2024 and thus you are not eligible for Neet 2024 examination.
