Dear Aspirant,

For NEET exam, the minimum age limit of the candidate is 17 years on December 31st of the year of admission for students of all categories. Hence for candidates to qualify for the lower age limit, they should have been born on or before 31.12.2004.

Thus, you will not be able to write NEET this year as you do not qualify the lower age limit. You can however, try the following year.

Hope it helps.

All the best !

This is because,
