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.

Hello,

No, you will not be eligible for the NEET 2027 exam based on your date of birth.

The Age Eligibility Rule for NEET

The official rule states that a candidate must be 17 years old on or before December 31st of the exam year.

On this date, your age will be 16 years, 11 months, and 11 days. Since you will not have completed 17 years, you are not eligible for NEET 2027.


What Are Your Options?

You do not need to take a drop year. Your first attempt at the NEET exam will be the year after you complete your 12th boards.
