The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) results for 2025 are out! If you've been anxiously waiting to check your score, now's the time. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the results on the official website neet.nta.nic.in. But the big question on everyone's mind is - what's the cut-off this year?
Let's dive into the details of NEET 2025 cut-off marks and see what it takes to qualify for medical courses this year.
Understanding NEET Cut-off Marks
The NEET cut-off is the minimum score you need to qualify for medical and dental courses. It varies based on categories like General, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS. Here's a breakdown of the NEET 2025 qualifying marks:
- UR/EWS: 144-686 marks (50th percentile)
- OBC/SC/ST: 113-143 marks (40th percentile)
- UR/EWS & PwBD: 127-143 marks (45th percentile)
- OBC/SC/ST & PwBD: 113-126 marks (40th percentile)
Interesting fact: This year's cut-off is slightly lower compared to last year. In 2024, the UR/EWS cut-off started at 164 marks!

What Next After Qualifying?
If you've cleared the cut-off, congratulations! But remember, qualifying NEET is just the first step. For admission to government medical colleges, you'll need a much higher score. These colleges have separate, usually higher, cut-offs.
Pro tip: Start researching colleges and their specific cut-offs now. It'll help you set realistic goals and plan your next steps.
Didn't Make the Cut?
Don't lose heart if you didn't clear the cut-off this time. Many successful doctors didn't make it in their first attempt. Use this as a learning experience. Analyze where you went wrong, create a better study plan, and come back stronger next year!
Remember, persistence is key in the medical field. Your NEET score doesn't define your potential as a future doctor.
Wrapping Up
Whether you're celebrating your score or planning for the next attempt, remember that NEET is just one step in your journey to becoming a healthcare professional. Keep pushing forward, stay motivated, and don't forget to pat yourself on the back for all the hard work you've put in so far!
