23 Karnataka candidates qualified for NEET are above 32 years of age; oldest is 52
Bengaluru: Age is just a number for around 23 candidates, who qualified in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) from Karnataka. They are above the age of 32. According to data from Karnataka Examinations Authority, the oldest candidate from the state who became eligible for NEET counselling is 52 years old. Born in 1973, the candidate scored 181 marks. The second oldest candidate is 48 years old and secured 133 marks. The third candidate on the list was born in 1983 and has 288 marks. Interestingly, at least two of these 23 candidates secured 480 marks and are in the All India rank range of 76,000. This could fetch the candidates a general merit seat in medical colleges of the state. There are candidates with 375, 312, and 311 marks. However, curiously, none of these candidates registered for counselling with KEA. This would mean that they are either not interested in taking a seat or are eyeing seats only through Medical Counselling Committee. MCC counselling opens doors to seats in deemed universities.
