Hi

No, there was no upper age limit for Neet ( known by AIPMT earlier) in 2014,2015 & 2016.

Upper age limit  was introduced in 2017 but since 2018 , the case of upper age limit has been pending in Supreme Court and until Supreme Court gives its judgement there is no upper limit for Neet

For your reference,

Here's the eligibility criteria for NEET :-

-----------) Qualification required :-As per Neet eligibility to be eligible you must be either appearing for 12th board examination  or should have passed 12th board examination from any recognised board with physics, chemistry ,biology/biotechnology and English as core subject.

†††Important Note :- Students with Biology as an additional subject are also provisionally eligible for neet until Supreme Court gives its judgement over it.

-----------)  Percentage required :- You must get

• at least 50 % in aggregate of PCB i.e Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology in 12th examination if belongs to general category

• at least 40% in aggregate of PCB if belongs to st/Obc/ Sc

• at least 45 % in aggregate of PCB in case of pwd candidates to be eligible.

- ----------)  Age limit :-

• Lower age limit:- to be eligible for neet  one has to be at least 17 years old or more by 31st December in the year of appearing for the examination .

• Upper age limit :-The upper age limit  is 25 years as on the date of neet examination and there's relaxation of 5 years for obc ncl/SC/ST /PwBD students means upper age limit is 30 years for these categories.

†††† But since 2018, the case of upper age limit is pending in supreme court , and so there's no upper age limit as of now until supreme court gives its judgement over it .

-----------) There's no attempt limit for neet.

Hello dear candidate,

Hope you are doing well,

So lower age limit criteria for neet is :-

Candidates must have completed age of 17 years at the time of admission or will complete the age on or before 31 December of the year of his/her admission to the 1st year for any course.

Information about upper age limit is as follows :-

This petition regarding the NEET 2022 age limit was filed after the MCI through an RTI revealed that it has set up an upper age limit for the unreserved category is 25 years and the reserved category is 30 years.1 day ago. But there no compulsory upper age limit for neet.
