Dear Student,

I assume that you have got confused with the terminologies used in the conversation as per the experts and have misunderstood some things.

Therefore, I am here to clear your doubts.

1. In General Conversation, peoples use the term "how many marks have you got" or in the term mentioned in the results "Total marks obtained by the candidate" is generally the total marks which you have scored in NEET or any other exam.

Thus, In short, Your NEET SCORE is just another fancy word of saying the total sum of your obtained marks.

2. In a formal way, the NEET Results mention 2 Ranks: (1) ALL INDIA RANK (2) Category Rank

(1) ALL India Rank: As you know that NEET stands for National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, it is a national level exams for getting admission and eligibility in the field of medicine concerned with humans and human benefits as well as helping and aiding other humans at any point of day or time if you have known the oath of Hippocrates.

In simple words, All India Rank means the rank which you have obtained among all the NEET aspirants in the nation or where your NEET SCORE stands among all the NEET aspirants who gave NEET Exam that year.

(2) Category Rank: Categories are varied in different terms in which the social structure of ancient India was formed and categorized. However, the issues raised over time and at the independence and in the first 10 years of election, these categories were to be lost forever and every person would be treated the same.

But as you can observe that they still exist in this day and age as well due to some unconcerned reasons.

The structure is as follows:

(1) General or unreserved: Highest cutoffs as majority peoples are UR.

(2) SC or Scheduled Caste: cutoffs lower than UR to balance the financial as well as social backwardness to make them stand together with UR.

(3) ST or Scheduled Tribes: cutoffs lower than SC to balance the financial as well as social backwardness to make them stand together with SC and UR.

(4) OBC or other backward classes all are clumped together which have lower cutoffs than UR to balance the financial as well as social backwardness to make them stand together with UR.

And sometimes SE as well.

The categories other than UR have Lower Cutoffs by means of some Reservation of seats alloted to them to balance the financial as well as social backwardness to make them stand together with UR.

Thus, they are referred to as reserved .

And where your NEET Score stands among your category NEET aspirants is your Category Rank.

You can also ask us another question, query, doubt or problem as another Separate question to get them resolved.

I Consider your query has met with its conclusion.

ALL THE BEST!!
