A timeline of NEET controversy on age limit, number of attempts and eligibility

2022

With an official notification, the National Medical Commission announced that the upper age limit for NEET UG has been removed.

2019

The ineligibility of NIOS/ open school students for NEET UG was another major controversy that arose in 2019. While they were allowed to appear for NTA NEET until 2017, the Medical Council of India (MCI) decided to bar them from appearing in NEET from 2018 onwards. The clause was later revoked and open school students were allowed to appear for the exam.

The other controversy was in regards to the question of Biology as an additional subject. Students who had studied Biology as an additional subject in Class 11 and 12 were considered ineligible. This clause was also revoked and such students were allowed for the exam in 2019.
2018

The MCI's decision to reintroduce a NEET upper age limit was first revealed via a Gazette of India notification published on January 23, 2018. The introduction of these rules led to tremendous controversy and led to an uproar among NEET aspirants. Within a week of introducing the NEET attempt limit rule, MCI scrapped it.

For candidates, there is no fixed number of attempts for NEET anymore and this was to be determined by the upper age limit criterion. However, the minimum age limit for medical students to appear in NEET must be 17 years or above.

2017

CBSE, in 2017 presented an upper age cap along with a maximum attempts limit number with a notification that mentions “the number of attempts which a candidate can avail at NEET-UG examination shall be limited to 3 (three) uniformly to all the candidates. The previous attempts in AIPMT/NEET will be counted against these 3 permissible attempts. Candidates who have already exhausted their allowed 3 attempts are not eligible to apply for NEET (UG) 2017”.

CBSE also set an upper NEET exam age limit for unreserved candidates at 25 years and reserved candidates at 30 years stating that “the upper age limit for NEET-UG is 25 years as on the date of examination with relaxation of 5 years for the candidates belonging to SC/ST/OBC category”. This rule was overruled by the Supreme Court in the same year. The clause on NEET age limit and attempts were then re-introduced again in 2018 with a twist.

To improve your Physics score in NEET within the next 7 months, focus on a strategic and disciplined approach:


1. **Strengthen Concepts**: Ensure you have a solid grasp of fundamental Physics concepts. NCERT is your primary resource. After understanding the theory, try applying it to problems. Break down complex topics like Mechanics, Electrodynamics, and Optics into simpler parts.


2. **Practice Regularly**: Consistent problem-solving is crucial. Start with easy problems to build confidence, then gradually increase the difficulty. Solve NEET-level questions daily, focusing on time management.


3. **Analyze Mistakes**: After every test or practice session, review your mistakes carefully. Identify patterns—are you making conceptual errors, calculation mistakes, or misinterpreting questions? This analysis helps in targeted improvement.


4. **Use Formula Sheets**: Create a formula sheet for quick revision. Regularly revise key formulas, derivations, and shortcuts. Understanding how to apply formulas is more important than rote memorization.


5. **Mock Tests & Time Management**: Take full-length mock tests in timed conditions. Simulate exam pressure, and track your progress. Work on speed and accuracy.


6. **Seek Help**: If specific topics are consistently challenging, seek guidance from teachers, online resources, or coaching. Sometimes a different explanation can make a concept clearer.


Stay persistent, and with focused effort, you can improve your Physics score.

hope this helps you!!
