Age Calculator for NEET 2026
NEET eligibility works differently from most exams: there is a minimum age (17 years, completed by 31 December of the admission year) and, following a Supreme Court-linked policy change, currently no enforced upper age limit. This calculator computes your exact age as on that cutoff so you can check the minimum-age requirement directly — always confirm the current NEET age rules against the official NTA notification, since upper-limit policy has shifted before.

Questions people ask
What is the minimum age for NEET?
17 years, completed (or about to be completed) by 31 December of the year you seek admission. If your 17th birthday falls after that date, you are not eligible for that admission cycle.
Is there an upper age limit for NEET?
Currently no enforced upper age limit applies to NEET-UG, following a policy change linked to a Supreme Court matter — but NEET's upper-age rule has been revised more than once in recent years, so verify the current position in the official NTA notification rather than assuming it stays this way.
How is the NEET age cutoff date decided?
NTA sets it as 31 December of the year of admission, not the exam date itself — a candidate turning 17 any time up to that December date is eligible, even if their birthday falls after the exam is conducted.
What if I am exactly 17 on the cutoff date?
Turning 17 on or before 31 December of the admission year satisfies the minimum-age rule — enter your date of birth here and set the 'as on' date to 31 December of your target year to check precisely.
Does this calculator check category-wise relaxation for NEET?
No — NEET's age rule is a flat minimum with no category-based relaxation the way exam-recruitment age limits (like SSC or UPSC) work, so there is no relaxation table on this page.
Is my date of birth uploaded anywhere?
No — everything is computed in your browser and nothing is sent to any server.
