The National Testing Agency (NTA) is set to announce the NEET UG Result 2025 on its official website – neet.nta.nic.in. According to a few reports, NEET Result 2025 will likely be announced this week. However, there is no official confirmation yet. To qualify the NEET Exam 2025, candidates must obtain a minimum percentile score according to their category. For General/Unreserved candidates, the minimum percentile score required to qualify the NEET exam is 50th percentile. Similarly, for SC/ST/OBC and UR-PwD, the required minimum percentile score is 45th and 40th percentile, respectively. According to the guidelines laid down by NTA, meeting the minimum requirement ensures eligibility for admission to MBBS, BDS, and other courses; however, it does not ensure the final admission, which is based on the merit list.
