Hey Ali !
The upper age limit previously used to be 25 years of age for the General Candidates whereas the same used to be 30 years for the reserved categories.
But after the decision of the Supreme Court put on stay, it clearly mentions that the upper age limit for the NEET Aspirant has been totally been removed and people need to follow just the lower limit as of now.
There's no 30 years or 25 years limit now, friend. Just make sure that before appearing for exam, you are 17+ years of age as on 31st December of the year previous to the one in which you are appearing.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck !

Thank you so much. I just hope they will not make any changes in the future. If so i will be in a mess. You see my D.O.B is 19.03.1995 i.e i will be 25 2 months prior to the neet 2020, therefore i would be ineligible. I have a request, can you please post a link where this new rule has been mentioned.
