Hi
Cut off means minimum marks to qualify neet examination
Neet qualifying cutoff percentile is fixed and remains same every year which is provided below category wise:-
----------) General category :- 50 percentile
----------) OBC/ SC /ST :- 40 percentile
----------) UR- Ph :- 45 percentile
Guessing you from general category.
When it comes to cut off marks then,
There's no fixed formula to calculate cut off marks
This is very difficult to predict neet 2022 cut off marks as cut off marks keeps changing every year depending upon various factors like :-
*******number of students that appeared in the exam,
*******kind of marks obtained by them ,
*******toughness level of the examination etc.
But yes,
Cut off marks will be more or less similar to previous years and when we go through past year qualifying cut off trends then last 3 years qualifying cut off data is given below for reference :-

From above,
You can see in neet 2021 , for general category at least 138 marks was required to qualify neet. To be on the safer side you should try to get at least 10 to 15 marks more in comparison of Neet 2021 cut off as per your category i. e if you belong to general category then try to get atleast around 150 marks in order to qualify Neet 2022
But yes,
Just qualifying with Neet cutoff won't help you to fetch a seat in a Government Medical College so you should try to get at least around 610 marks if you belong to general category.
Now , limited time is left for your neet 2022 examination, so focus on preparation, go through the chapters , practise questions and then revise them, go through mock test papers once you are done with complete syllabus.
