The Ministry of Health has surprisingly set the maximum age for NEET at 25, despite many states like Uttar Pradesh and respected institutions not having any such rule. They can legally set an upper age limit only for All India Quota seats, as has been done in the past. What legal options do I have to fight this unfair decision?

The Ministry of Health’s decision to impose an upper age limit for NEET is likely to be challenged in court. You can explore filing a writ petition in the High Court or Supreme Court arguing that the Ministry’s action is arbitrary and discriminatory. The challenge would center on the lack of a legal basis for such a rule and the infringement on the right to education.
