There is no upper age limit for NEET and also the no.of attempts that a Candidate can appear for NEET UG has also been temporarily put on hold and is awaiting a ruling from the Supreme Court. So, as of now, there us neither any upper age limit or there is no cap on no.of times one can appear for NEET. Have a look at the eligibility criteria:

  • Indian Nationals, NRIs, PIOs, OCIs, and Foreign Nationals
  • No upper age limit as of now. The Candidate should be at least 17 years by December 31st of 2020
  • You should have completed your 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology as your Core Subjects.
  • 50% Aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Biology for General Category, 45% for PWD and 40% for OBC,SC,ST Candidates.
  • NIOS and Private Candidates are also eligible
