Understanding NEET UG Age Limits
To successfully apply for the NEET UG, the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) requires candidates to be strictly between 17 and 99 years of age as of the official cutoff date (December 31, 2026). However, significant age relaxations are granted to candidates from reserved categories, allowing OBC, SC, ST, and PwBD applicants to apply beyond the base maximum limit. Our exact age calculator automatically applies these specific 2026 official notification rules to verify your eligibility instantly.

Common NEET UG Age Eligibility Errors
"Applying under wrong category relaxation"
Many candidates select General instead of their eligible reservation category, missing out on age relaxation of up to 5–10 years for OBC/SC/ST.
"Incorrect DOB entered during registration"
Even a single-day typo can render you ineligible. Always cross-check your DOB against your 10th certificate before submitting.
"Cut-off date confusion"
NEET calculates age as on December 31, 2026 — not the exam date or application date. Our calculator already uses this exact date.
