This is because,
To be eligible for Neet 2022 examination one needs to be at least 17 years old as on 31st December 2022. And you fulfill this criteria with your mentioned date of birth as you will be 17 years old on 8th April 2022 itself and thus eligible .
For your reference
Here's the eligibility criteria for NEET :-
-----------) Qualification required :-As per Neet eligibility to be eligible you must be either appearing for 12th board examination or should have passed 12th board examination with physics, chemistry ,biology/biotechnology and English as core subject.
†††Important Note :- Students with Biology as an additional subject are also provisionally eligible for neet until Supreme Court gives its judgement over it.

-
Upper age limit :-The upper age limit is 25 years as on the date of neet examination and there's relaxation of 5 years for obc ncl/SC/ST /PwBD students means upper age limit is 30 years for these categories.
