NEET 2024: Cutoff (OBC, SC, ST & General Category)

NEET 2025: Syllabus | Most Scoring concepts | NEET PYQ's (2015-24)
Dear aspirant
NEET is the official entrance for students all over thr country for BPT MBBS BDS degree. To sit for BPT counselling one has to clear the cut off marks or percentile. Generally
For general category it is 50 percentile
For Obc category it is 40 percentile
For SC Category it is 40 percentile
For ST Category it is 40 percentile
For PWD category it is 45 percentile
Minimum cut off percentile is constant but as the standard of the question paper and total number of candidates appraring in the exam are no constant . So cut off marks vary
Qualifying cutoff for this year is
UR/EWS: 720-147
OBC: 146-113
SC: 146-113
ST: 146-113
UR/EWS-PWD: 146-129
So are well eligible for MBBS BDS BHMS BAMS BPT etc courses.but
At first congratulations and best wishes for your result . I am afraid to say with this marks your chances to get government colleges are almost negative through All India counselling for 15% seats . You can still try in state counselling for remaining 85% seats . Different state counselling cut offs vary from each other. Though chances are almost over for you in MBBS BDS . Chances are tough in others too.
You must try in Paramedical, physiotherapy and general degree courses.
