About this tool
Check the NEET minimum-age rule — 17 years completed by 31 December of the admission year — with your exact age and day margin.
This checker applies the NEET (UG) minimum-age rule — 17 years of age completed on or before 31 December of the year of admission, as laid down in the Graduate Medical Education Regulations — to your exact date of birth. It returns your age in years, months and days on the cutoff, the precise day margin by which you pass or miss the rule, and the latest date of birth that still qualifies for your admission year.

Encodes the GME Regulations' 17-year rule and the current no-upper-age-limit position rather than a rough age estimate.
17 years, completed on or before 31 December of the year of admission to the first-year MBBS/BDS course, as per the Graduate Medical Education Regulations. A candidate born on 31 December turns 17 exactly on the cutoff and still qualifies for admission that year.
No. The National Medical Commission removed the upper age bar in 2022, and NTA bulletins since then state there is no upper age limit for appearing in NEET (UG). Only the 17-year minimum applies.
The date of birth recorded in your Class 10 (secondary school) certificate. If any other document differs, the Class 10 record is what the application and counselling verification go by, so enter that date when checking eligibility.
You can sit the exam if you complete 17 years by 31 December of the admission year — the rule is about age at admission, not on exam day. A candidate who is 16 on exam day but turns 17 by that 31 December remains eligible; one who turns 17 even a day later must wait for the next admission year.
