Hello,

To be eligible for NEET candidates must have completed 17 years as on December 31, 2022. As you will be 17 by December 31, 2022 you will be eligible to give NEET 2022 as long as candidates have passed 10+2 or equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English as core subjects from a recognized board with minimum required percentage of 50% marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology in their Class 12 or HSC examination for unreserved category and 40% for reserved category.

There is no upper age limit for NEET. You need to be 17 years as on December 31st of the year of admission, In your case, you should be 17 years atleast as on December 31st of 2022. You will be 17 years and 7 months by then and so you will be eligible for NEET 2022. And also to be eligible for NEET, you should have completed your 12th, passed in all subjects and secure a minimum aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. It is 50% for General Category, 45% for PWD and 40% for OBC,SC,ST. Now if you belong to OBC Category, the Category you belong to should be also listed in the Central OBC list. Or else you will be considered as General Category and so you have to secure a minimum aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. This 50% is inclusive of the Theory and Practical marks scored in Physics, Chemistry and Biology collectively. You needn't score 50% in Physics, 50% in Chemistry and 50% in Biology separately. You need an aggregate of 50% or 40% depending on your Category as an aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. And along with Physics, Chemistry and Biology, you should also have studied English as one of the core subjects in your 12th.

Hi.

According to NEET Age Eligibility criteria (2020):

Candidates must have completed 17 years of age either at the time of admission or else on or before December 31, 2021

Since the exam occurs around May-June so you would have been 17 years old at the time of exam. Means you are qualified to give the exam.

Good Luck
