Hey! The CBSE hasn't given any limit for the gap between your 11th and 12 grades. Anyone who is between the age of 17 and 25 and has scored qualifying marks in their 12th boards examination is eligible to sit for the NEET examination.

A lot of students do repeat their 12th grade board examinations in order to get a better score or to get qualifying marks ( i.e. 50% ) and the CBSE is quite accommodating for that.

So to answer your question yes one is eligible for NEET 2021 even with a gap of 2-3 years between their 11th and 12th grade as long as they fulfil the above mentioned criteria.
