Hey! You are not eligible for NEET 2027 because your date of birth is 20th January 2011. For NEET, you must be at least 17 years old on or before 31st December of the exam year. Since you will be 16 years 11 months by the end of 2027, you will have to wait.

Options: You can focus on your 12th boards and start NEET coaching now for NEET 2028. Taking this year to prepare well will give you a strong start.
