NEET Cut Off 2025: Category-wise Cutoff, Passing & Qualifying Marks

NEET UG Cut Off 2025: The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET UG) is the gateway for admission to MBBS, BDS, and AYUSH courses across India. The cut-off marks play a crucial role in determining who qualifies for counselling and admission to these courses. With over 22 lakh candidates appearing in NEET UG 2025, understanding the nuances of the cut-off after results and during counselling is essential for aspirants. 

Understanding the cut-off, both the qualifying marks announced post-results and the college-specific closing scores during counselling rounds, is crucial for candidates to navigate the highly competitive admission process effectively and secure seats in reputed government and private medical colleges. Only those who meet or exceed the qualifying cut-off are allowed to participate in the medical/dental counselling sessions. Qualifying is the first step; admission depends on the marks/rank obtained relative to other candidates during subsequent counselling rounds.
