Hi aspirant,

NEET examination is the largest undergraduate medical examination held to offer admission into various medical courses across the college in India. The minimum age for a candidate to appear in the examination is 17 years irrespective of his/her category. Currently there is no upper age limit for the examination but there is a case pending in supreme court of India, if judgement for the same is released the maximum age would be fixed to be 31 with some relaxation to reserved categories.

Hope it helps!
