Hello Vikrant
The maximum number of attempts you can give to appear in NEET is 3 starting from 2017
Does not matter what your age is a which year you passed your 12th boards for which course your pursuing presently
All That Matters is how many times you have given meet since 2017 which is most likely not more than one in your case
If you have given it in 2017 you can appeared for Neet to more times and if you have not given it in 2017 then you can appear 3 more times irrespective of which year you appear in
Hope This helps, thank you

Since there is no upper age limit for appearing for NEET-UG examination, you are eligible for applying.
However, you must know that ONLY 3 attempts are allowed, with effect from 2017.
Plan and prepare accordingly.

To answer your question,

Yes, you are eligible to appear for NEET 2018 with your twelfth passing. The BSc part doesn't matter.

Earlier there used to be an age limit for candidates but it has been removed. 

All the best.

Hi

   The upper age limit for appearing in the Neet has been removed from 2017. Coming to ur question, Yes very well. Either you can complete your B.Sc and take up Neet which is the scenario is US  where a basic science degree is required to join MBBS.Or  prepare by taking a gap of 2-3 months. Or you can discontinue and concentrate fully

I'll tell you a story.

I have a classmate who was studying B.Arch 2nd yr in Madurai, In  2015 when there were floods in Tamil Nadu, we had very few working days(Max 8-10days) in Nov, December. He thought of not giving up his dream of joining medicine and prepared sincerely and then he took a gap in the month of April when his college friends went on a 22 day architectural tour across India.

Now, there he his my classmate who secured distinction in first yr  university exams. I still learn difficult topics from him.

No one's going to ask your age when you become a doctor. Do what your heart says how crazy it may sound to others. Convince ur parents about this.

Good luck

Srivat Raj.
