Edutel academy neet info Cap on number of attempts for NEET removed Last year, CBSE had placed a cap of maximum three attempts for NEET examination. For computational purposes, NEET 2017 examination was to be considered as the first attempt. However, with the implementation of the upper age limit, there is now no clause regarding the cap on the number of attempts. In effect, the number of attempts for NEET 2018 has now increased to about 8 (with 17 years as lower age limit and 25 years as upper age limit). The number of attempts for reserved category accordingly is about 13. This, however, is subject to the candidates' age at the time of the examination. All students planning to apply for NEET 2018 are advised to carefully go through the information bulletin before filling the online application form. While CBSE would allow candidates to make a few corrections, there are a few details that cannot be changed. Also, candidates can apply for NEET 2018 only once. The online application forms for NEET 2018 close on March 9, 2018.
