Hello aspirant,

No, a candidate cannot use the previous year's NEET score to take admission in government, private or deemed medical college.

Only the current year's NEET score is applicable to take admission to various colleges across the country. Hence, only the results of NEET 2022 can be used and not NEET 2021's.

For deemed medical colleges, a candidate must score 590+ for colleges such as KMC Mangalore and Manipal, Hamdard Institute of Medical Sciences etc. Or a score such as 250+ can also fetch you a seat in Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Wardha, SRM Medical College, GITAM Medical College etc.

The cut off varies each year depending on various factors such as number of newly opened medical colleges, category of the student, difficulty level of the exam and number of students who attempted the paper.

Hope it helps!
