Your NEET score may meet the qualifying cutoff but may not be enough to secure an MBBS seat. Checking previous years’ cutoffs helps you understand how qualifying marks differ by category and why qualifying for NEET is different from securing admission to a medical college.

PW Gulf online batches help you prepare for NEET through lessons, practice questions and mock tests. Compare your mock-test scores with previous years’ qualifying cutoffs to set score targets, assess your progress and identify areas that need more practice.

The NEET 2025 cutoff varied across categories, even when candidates had the same qualifying percentile. The percentile shows how a candidate performed relative to others, not the percentage of marks scored. The marks required to meet the qualifying percentile can change each year depending on the examination results.

*Change is calculated by subtracting the 2025 minimum qualifying mark from the 2026 minimum qualifying mark.

The comparison shows an increase in the minimum qualifying marks across the categories. However, this does not automatically mean that admission became more difficult at every medical college. Qualifying marks determine eligibility, whereas admission cutoffs depend on the college, course, category, quota, seat availability and counselling round.

As you prepare for NEET 2027, use the NEET Cutoff 2025 as a historical benchmark rather than a guaranteed target. PW Gulf's NEET online coaching helps you revise concepts, practise questions and assess your progress through mock tests. Keep working on your accuracy and subject knowledge, as future qualifying marks and MBBS admission cutoffs may differ from those of previous years.

FAQs on NEET Cutoff 2025

Q1. What are the cutoff marks for NEET 2025?

The NEET 2025 qualifying cutoff varied by category. The qualifying marks ranged from 144 to 686 for the General/EWS category and from 113 to 143 for OBC, SC and ST categories. These marks determine eligibility for the admission process, not guaranteed admission to an MBBS college.

Q2. What are the qualifying marks for NEET 2025 for General and OBC/SC/ST?

The qualifying marks for the General/EWS category were 686–144, corresponding to the 50th percentile. For OBC, SC and ST candidates, the qualifying marks were 143–113, corresponding to the 40th percentile. The qualifying percentile and marks for PwBD candidates vary according to their category.

Q3. What is the NEET 2025 cutoff for MBBS government colleges?

The NEET 2025 cutoff for MBBS admission in government colleges varies by college, category, quota, state and counselling round. The qualifying cutoff is different from the admission cutoff. To check college-wise admission cutoffs, refer to the official Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) allotment results for All India Quota seats or the relevant state counselling authority's results.

Q4. What is the NEET 2025 cutoff for OBC, SC and ST?

The NEET 2025 qualifying marks for OBC, SC and ST candidates were 143–113, corresponding to the 40th percentile. Meeting this qualifying cutoff makes you eligible for the next stage of the admission process, subject to applicable rules, but does not guarantee an MBBS seat.

Q5. Where can I download the NEET 2025 cutoff PDF?

You can visit the official National Testing Agency (NTA) website or the official NEET website to look for the NEET 2025 result notice and qualifying cutoff details. Check the relevant official document for category-wise qualifying marks and percentile criteria before using the figures for reference.

Q6. Is the qualifying cutoff enough for MBBS admission in government colleges?

No. Meeting the NEET qualifying cutoff makes you eligible to participate in the applicable admission process, subject to its rules. A government MBBS seat depends on your rank, category, quota, college preferences, seat availability and counselling outcomes.

Q7. What is the AIQ cutoff for NEET 2025?

The All India Quota (AIQ) admission cutoff varies by college, category and counselling round. There is no single closing cutoff that applies to every government medical college. Check the official MCC counselling and seat-allotment results for NEET 2025 to review the relevant college-wise closing ranks.
