Hi

Yes , you are eligible for Neet examination even if you have an year gap between your class 11th and class 12th.

This is because,

There is no rule which says that if you have an year gap between your class 11th and 12th you become ineligible for Neet examination, as to be eligible for neet what all one needs is :

you must be either appearing for your 12th board examination 2021 or should have passed 12th board examination with physics, chemistry ,biology and English and must have got at least  50  % in aggregate of PCB  i.e Physics, Chemistry and Biology ( in theory +practical) in 12th examination  if belongs to general category , or   at least  40%  in aggregate of PCB if belongs to  Obc/ Sc /st category.

Also,
Minimum age limit is 17 years old ,so  to be eligible for neet 2021 one has to be at least 17 years old by  31st  December 2021

So, if you fulfill these to above criteria then you are eligible for Neet 2021 examination even if you have an year gap between your class 11th and 12th

Now that you are eligible, and you  have limited time left for your neet examination I'll suggest you to focus on your preparation and revision,  go through mock test paper sample papers and previous year question papers as it will let you know your preparation level and and weak areas so that you can work on them and perform well in your examination.
