Aamira, there is no upper age limit for NEET as of now. So as long as you fulfil the eligibility criteria for NEET, you can appear for NEET and should you get a seat in the Counselling, you can take admission for studying MBBS. NEET is the entrance examination for admission to MBBS,BDS, Ayush and Veterinary courses across India. And to be eligible for NEET, you should have completed your 12th, passed in all subjects and secure a minimum aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. It is 50% for General Category, 45% for PWD and 40% for OBC,SC,ST. Now if you belong to OBC Category, the Category you belong to should be also listed in the Central OBC list. Or else you will be considered as General Category and so you have to secure a minimum aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. This 50% is inclusive of the Theory and Practical marks scored in Physics, Chemistry and Biology collectively. You needn't score 50% in Physics, 50% in Chemistry and 50% in Biology separately. You need an aggregate of 50% or 40% depending on your Category as an aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. And along with Physics, Chemistry and Biology, you should also have studied English as one of the core subjects in your 12th. We couldn't quite understand what you meant by UG in Indian Medicine but irrespective of your educational qualification, if you meet the eligibility criteria, you can appear for NEET.

Yes you can re appear for your under graduation course to get into and pursue MBBS course. And then you can give the NEET examination and as per your merit score in it, you can get into the various medical colleges across INDIA -
