Hello, for appearing in NEET exam, there is age criteria. For NEET(UG) the upper age limit is 25 years as on the date of examination with relaxation of 5 years for the candidates belonging to ST category. Since you belong from ST category so, yes, you are eligible.
Dear Deepak, the upper age limit is 25 years for general and 30 years for SC, ST and OBC candidates on the date of examination. So according to age criteria you are eligible. Coming to the educational qualifications you should have passed your +2 with a minimum qualifying percentage of 40 with the subjects Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English as core subjects. If +2 is your highest qualification and you meet this criteria, you are eligible to attempt NEET. But given your age, if you have taken up a B. Sc degree and completed it meanwhile, then you should have atleast 2 subjects in your degree among Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology. If that's the case, even then you are eligible to write NEET. But given the fact that you have written NEET and got an admission we will need your highest qualification.
