Yes you are eligible if you had biology in your 12th class and other criteria include that you must have a minimum of 50 % marks in PCB if you are from general category and 40 % for SC / ST / OBC categories.

Acc. To guidelines set by cbse there is no upper age limit for appearing in NEET examination. So as far as age is concerned you are eligible for appearing in NEET examination.
The major eligibility criteria for neet exam is that you should have studied PCB and basic english in +1 and +2 and also you can't appear for the exam more than 3 times which may or mayn't be in a row.
Hope i was able to help.
There is no maximum age limit, and you have to pass basic biology, physics chemistry and English. If you fulfil this criteria then you can take the exam.
