As the dust settles on the NEET UG 2025 exam held on May 4, aspiring medical students across India are eagerly awaiting the results. While the official cut-offs won't be released until June, we can make some educated guesses based on past trends and this year's exam analysis. Let's dive into what you can expect for NEET 2025 cut-offs and admission chances!
What Determines the NEET Cut-Off?
Before we look at the numbers, it's important to understand what factors influence the NEET cut-off marks:
- How tough the exam was
- How many students took the test
- Overall performance of candidates
- Number of available medical seats
- Reservation policies
Expected NEET 2025 Qualifying Cut-Off
Based on early exam analysis, here's what we predict for the minimum qualifying scores:
| Category | Expected Cut-Off (out of 720) |
|---|---|
| General | 138 - 150 |
| OBC/SC/ST | 108 - 120 |
| PWD | 120 - 135 |
Remember, these are just predictions! The official cut-offs could be slightly different.
NEET Cut-Off Trends: A Look Back
To get a better idea of what to expect, let's check out the cut-offs from the last few years:
| Year | General Cut-Off | OBC/SC/ST Cut-Off |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 138 | 108 |
| 2023 | 137 | 107 |
| 2022 | 117 | 93 |
As you can see, the cut-offs have been fairly stable in recent years. This year's predictions are in line with that trend.
What About Top College Admissions?
Of course, just clearing the cut-off isn't enough to get into the top medical colleges. Here's a rough idea of the scores you might need:
- AIIMS Delhi: 700+
- JIPMER Puducherry: 680+
- Maulana Azad Medical College: 670+
- Government Medical Colleges: 600-650+
- Private Medical Colleges: 500-550+
Keep in mind that these are ballpark figures and can vary based on factors like location and number of seats.
