Hi

Yes you are eligible for attempting Neet examination even if you are 24 years old provided you full fill its eligibility criteria.

This is because,

The upper age limit for Neet examination for general category is 25 years but this age limit also is pending in Supreme Court and as of now there is no upper age limit for neet.

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.

-----------)  Age limit :-

• Lower age limit:- to be eligible for neet  one has to be at least 17 years old or more by 31st December in the year of appearing for the examination .

• 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.
