Hello Applicant,

No, I don't think you can because according to the rules of NEET the age of the applicant must be minimum 17 years to be eligible.

At the age of 16 years, they won't allow you to fill the application form.

Hope this helps. You can contact for any further guidelines.

Yes, then it is fine. You have to be 17 years or older in the year in which you are sitting for the exam.

I have passed 11th while preparing for neet,it was avarage. But due to my age I have 3 more years before examination now. So should I repeat my 11th then 12th and then target.bevause my seniors said that 11th is more important for exam. Or should I continue to 12th.
In short my question is that I have passed 11th class coaching with avarage performance.and I have 3 more years to prepare before exam.what should be my approach 11th repeat or continue to 12th. And what after that.
