In 2017 Candidates Registered11,38,890 which showed an increase of 70% in comparison to 2016.I think around 14 lakh students will appear for NEET 2018, 3 Lakh will be repeaters. This is just my approximation. The craze for JEE is now diverting towards NEET. The no. Of applicants for NEET Exam is rising and will keep on rising in near future. One cannot predict no. of candidates from a particular state.
Although one must not worry about the no. Of candidates applying far an exam, the one and only way to get success is hardwork, keep up your hard work and success will be achieved.
Good luck

It will be made public after the exam. However, last year around 83k candidates appeared. So around 1 lakh will appear this year.
