Hey aspirant,

The eligibility criteria for NEET is as follows :-

i. He/she has completed age of 17 years at the time of admission or will complete that age on or before 31 December of the year of his/her admission to the first year Undergraduate Medical Courses .

ii. The upper age limit for NEET (UG) is 25 years as on the date of examination with relaxation of 5 years for the candidates belonging to SC/ST/OBC-NCL category and PwD Candidates.

However, in the official NEET guidelines pdf there is a special note written on this particular subject. I will quote that for you :-

"NOTE: The upper age limit of 25 years as prescribed under the Regulations on Graduate Medical Education, 1997

vide amendment dated 22.01.2018, was challenged before the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi and the said upper age

limit had been upheld vide judgement dated 11.05.2018 in W.P. No.1813/2018 & other connected matters. The said

judgement dated 11.05.2018 was challenged before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in SLP (C) No.

14320/2018 & other connected matters, when vide interim order dated 29.11.2018, candidates who are 25 years and

above were provisionally permitted to appear in NEET-UG-2019 subject to the final outcome of the said matters.

The Supreme Court thereafter, vide order dated 29.04.2019 had permitted the candidates to appear provisionally

in the Counselling subject to the adjudication o f the matters. The aforesaid matters are pending adjudication

before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India and the authorities shall abide by any order that may be passed for

NEET-UG-2020.

Thus, the candidates above 25 years are provisionally permitted to appear and their candidature is subject to the

outcome of pending Petitions before the Hon'ble Supreme Court."

Accordingly the criteria on age limit for NEET 2020 has been revised as  to be only born on or before 31.12.2003, for all categories.
