Gap Year Student With Low Marks: Can I Rewrite NEET in Maharashtra?

Ans: Hello Devendra

NMC in its official letter dated March 9, 2022 mentioned that the upper age limit has been scrapped. Earlier, candidates who are above the age of 25 were not able to apply for NEET UG. Earlier, there were no upper age limit criteria for appearing in NEET.

However we cannot predict the age criteria for NEET 2025 now.

Ans: Hi Amar.
To appear for the NEET Exam, candidates must be at least 17 years old. There is no upper age limit as per the Supreme Court's order. You are eligible to appear for NEET 2025.

Ans: Hello.
My real suggestion to you: Please think of other options other than NEET. The reason, you failed in 2023 and in 2024 you just scored 47%. It would be very difficult for you to cover the syllabus of NEET. Changing the board is also not advisable. You can shift to Maharashtra take admission to any stream and appear for upcoming examinations. At last if you want to appear for NEET, then take admission to the 12th Std in any Maharashtra college, appear for NEET. But again the min 50% conditions will apply for qualification,
Advice: Better to choose another path than that of NEET.

If you are dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
