As if you want to apply in the years 2021 and if the admission procedure also complete in the year 2021 your age at 31st December 2021 will be 16 years 8 months 10 days so you will not be considered eligible for admission.

However you should wait till the NTA releases the eligibility criteria for NEET 2021 to see the actual age eligibility criteria for that year.
