Dear Jeevan, to be qualified in NEET, if you belong to General Category, you should score a minimum of 50 percentile of the top NEET score. It is 50 percentile for General Category and 40 percentile for OBC,SC,ST. This is the cut off formula. But the marks do change every year as they are dependant on various factors like no.of Candidates appearing for the exam, no.of Candidates qualified, top NEET score and difficulty of the exam. In 2019, the general cut offs increased by 15 marks. And they looked like this:
General Category: 134-701
OBC,SC,ST: 107-133
OBC-PH, SC-PH, ST-PH: 107-119
UR-PH: 120-133
So the cut offs this year may go higher by 20 marks. However this is just an assumption.
