Hii karthikeyan!

Acc. To guidelines set by cbse there is no upper age limit for appearing in NEET examination. So as far as age is concerned you are eligible for appearing in NEET examination.
The major eligibility criteria for neet exam is that you should have studied PCB and basic english in +1 and +2 and also you can't appear for the exam more than 3 times which may or mayn't be in a row.

Hope i was able to help.
