Dear candidate,

As per the latest NEET 2019 eligibility criteria, the upper age limit candidates i.e. the candidates with age 25 or more are eligible to apply and take NEET 2019. Candidates can check below the article for more details. The National Testing Agency (NTA), the regulatory body for NEET 2019 have determined the NEET eligibility criteria for the first time.


The upper age limit criteria has been removed by the Supreme Court, for the time being, which allows candidates to appear for the exam. The final decision of the Supreme Court is still pending and the next hearing is scheduled for the month of January. As per the directive of the Supreme Court, the National Testing Agency had extended the last date of NEET form submission to December 7, 2018 and candidates could pay the fees till December 8, 2018.
