How this tool works
This calculator counts your age in completed years, months and days on December 31, 2026, the NEET cut-off date for NEET UG, and compares it with the age limit (no upper age limit) after adding your category's relaxation. Exactly the minimum age on that date counts as eligible; reaching the maximum age on that date does not, and the result shows the birth-date range to compare with the notification.

Is this age calculator officially provided by NEET?
No. FreeApplyTools is an independent utility platform. However, our engine is hardcoded to strictly follow the official NEET notification rules and cut-off dates for 2026. We recommend using this as a quick reference, but always cross-check with the official NEET notification for your specific exam and post.

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.
