NEET 2027 Eligibility Criteria

Candidates must check the eligibility requirements before completing the NEET UG 2027 application form. The final conditions will be available in the official information bulletin.

Nationality

Indian nationals, Non-Resident Indians, Overseas Citizens of India and foreign nationals were permitted to appear for NEET UG 2026. Similar nationality rules are expected for the 2027 examination. Admission will remain subject to the regulations of the relevant government, institution and counselling authority.

Minimum Age

Candidates are expected to complete 17 years of age on or before December 31, 2027.

Under the 2026 rules, candidates had to complete 17 years by December 31 of the examination year. The 2026 information bulletin also stated that there was no upper age limit.

The age requirement for NEET 2027 will be confirmed through the new bulletin.

Educational Qualification

Candidates should have passed or be appearing in Class 12 or an equivalent examination.

They must study the following subjects:

• Physics
• Chemistry
• Biology or Biotechnology
• English

Candidates awaiting their Class 12 result may apply. However, they must pass the qualifying examination with the required subjects before the first round of counselling. Candidates who studied Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Biotechnology and English as additional subjects were also allowed under the 2026 rules, provided they had documentary proof from a recognised board.

Important Clarification on Minimum Marks

The percentages of 50%, 40% and 45% are often incorrectly described as compulsory Class 12 board marks.

In the latest NEET UG 2026 bulletin, these figures were mentioned as the minimum NEET qualifying percentiles for admission, not as category-wise Class 12 aggregate requirements:

Category	Minimum NEET Qualifying Percentile
General and General-EWS	50th percentile
SC, ST and OBC-NCL	40th percentile
Unreserved and General-EWS PwBD	45th percentile
SC, ST and OBC-NCL PwBD	40th percentile

Candidates must still pass the qualifying examination with the required subjects. NTA and the relevant regulatory authorities will confirm the rules for the 2027 session.

How to Fill the NEET 2027 Application Form

The NEET 2027 application process will be conducted online. Applications submitted through offline mode or an unofficial website won’t be accepted.

Step 1: Complete NEET 2027 Registration

Visit the official NEET portal and click on the new registration link.

Enter the required details, including:

• Candidate’s name
• Parents’ names
• Date of birth
• Gender
• Nationality
• Category
• Mobile number
• Email address
• Identity details
• Password and security information

Candidates may be required to verify their mobile number and email address through separate OTPs.

Step 2: Fill in the Application Form

Log in using the application number and password generated during registration.

Enter the following information carefully:

• Personal details
• Present and permanent address
• Parents’ qualification and occupation
• Class 10 and Class 12 details

All information should match the candidate’s certificates and identity documents.

Step 3: Upload Documents

Candidates will have to upload their photograph, signature, impressions and relevant certificates.

The NEET UG 2026 application process required candidates to upload left- and right-hand finger and thumb impressions. It also included Class 10 documents, address proof and applicable category, disability and nationality certificates. Similar documents may be required for 2027.

Step 4: Pay the Application Fee

Pay the NEET 2027 application fee using an available online payment method, such as:

• Debit card
• Credit card
• Net banking
• UPI

The application won’t be considered complete until the fee is successfully paid and the confirmation page is generated.

Step 5: Download the Confirmation Page

Download and print the confirmation page after completing the payment.

Candidates don’t usually need to send the confirmation page or supporting documents to NTA by post or email. They should keep copies of the confirmation page and payment receipt for admission and future correspondence.

Documents Required for NEET 2027 Application Form

The exact document specifications will be announced in the NEET 2027 information bulletin. Based on the 2026 application process, candidates may need the following documents:

Document	Expected Requirement
Recent passport-size photograph	JPG or JPEG
Live photograph	Captured during registration
Candidate’s signature	JPG or JPEG
Left- and right-hand finger and thumb impressions	JPG or JPEG
Class 10 certificate	PDF
Class 10 marksheet	PDF

Candidates should upload clear and readable documents. The photograph, signature and impressions must belong to the applicant.

New Information Expected in the NEET 2027 Application Process

NTA introduced or continued several identity-verification measures during the 2026 registration process. These requirements may continue or be strengthened for the 2027 session.

Live Photograph During Registration

The 2026 form required candidates to capture a live photograph while completing the application. Candidates could use a webcam or scan a QR code with a mobile device.

The live photograph could be compared with the photograph available in the Aadhaar database. Candidates whose photographs didn’t match or who used another identity-verification method could be asked to upload an attested identity certificate.

Both-Hand Finger and Thumb Impressions

Candidates were required to upload impressions of the fingers and thumbs of both hands for NEET UG 2026. Applicants shouldn’t assume that only one thumb impression will be required for 2027.

Detailed Address Proof

The 2026 registration process required scanned proof of present and permanent addresses. If the addresses were the same, candidates had to follow the instructions provided in the application portal.

This requirement may continue in NEET 2027.

Aadhaar-Based Identity Verification

Aadhaar wasn’t described as the only permitted identity document in the 2026 bulletin. However, NTA advised candidates to consider Aadhaar verification to avoid uploading additional identity documents.

Candidates using an identity method other than Aadhaar or DigiLocker could be required to provide further proof.

Photograph Without Name and Date

Older NEET instructions often advised candidates to upload photographs containing their name and the date on which the photograph was taken.

The NEET UG 2026 document specifications focused on a recent photograph with a white background, clear facial visibility and prescribed file dimensions. It didn’t state that the candidate’s name and date had to be printed on the photograph. Candidates should follow only the specifications issued for the 2027 session.

NEET UG 2027 Application Fee

NTA hasn’t announced the NEET 2027 application fee. The expected fee structure below is based on NEET UG 2026.

Category	Expected Application Fee
General	₹1,700
General-EWS and OBC-NCL	₹1,600
SC, ST, PwBD, PwD and Third Gender	₹1,000
Candidates applying from outside India	₹9,500

Processing charges and applicable taxes may be added separately. NTA may revise the fee for NEET 2027.

NEET 2027 Application Correction Window

NTA is expected to open the NEET 2027 correction window after registration closes. Only candidates who submit the application form and pay the fee before the deadline will be able to use this facility.

The correction window may allow changes to selected details, such as:

• Parents’ information
• Category or subcategory
• Class 10 and Class 12 details
• Examination city
• Question paper medium
• Signature
• Address
• Identity details

All fields may not be editable. During the 2026 correction process, NTA allowed changes only to specified fields, and corrections affecting the fee became valid after payment of the additional amount.

Important Instructions for NEET 2027 Applicants

Candidates should submit only one application form. Multiple applications may lead to cancellation or other action.

Use an active mobile number and email address belonging to the candidate or their parent or guardian. NTA will send important updates through these contact details.

Check the spelling of your name, date of birth, category, identity details and academic information before submitting the form.

Upload only your own photograph, signature, impressions and certificates. Using another person’s documents or altering them may be treated as an unfair means practice.

Pay the application fee before the deadline and confirm that the confirmation page has been generated. A bank deduction alone doesn’t prove that the application has been submitted successfully.
