Hello,

The minimum age must be 17 years as on December 31, 2021. So if your current age is 16. 5 years then you are eligible to appear for NEET 2021 as you will turn 17 years by next year and you will fulfill the age eligibility criteria as mentioned above. So you can apply for NEET 2021 provided you must fulfill other eligibility criteria as well.
