The eligibility crieteria for Neet 2019 specified that the minimum age requirement was 17 years as of December 31st 2019. If they stick to the same rule next year you should be eligible as you will turn 17 this year, i.e. 2019. Hence should be eligible to write Neet 2020 and onwards till the maximum age limit is reached as per your category.

Hello,
Hello, the eligiblity criteria for admission to undergraduate medical courses through NEET is-
Candidate should pass XII with atleast 50% for General category and 40% for OBC,SC,ST.
And must be of atleast 17 years of age.
When you'll pass class XII, you will of age 16 i.e in 2020,so you are NOT eligible for NEET 2020.
I suggest you to take this one year for serious preparation and give NEEET 2021

Dear Akshay, for now the age criteria is that you should have completed 17 years atleast by December 31st of the year of admission. For example, if you want to appear for NEET in 2020, you should be 17 years atleast by December 31st, 2020. And by then you will be 17 years and 3 months old thereby making you eligible for NEET.
