NEET

The minimum score required to clear NEET exam for the general category in 2023 cannot be predicted as it depends on various factors such as the difficulty level of the exam, the number of candidates appearing for the exam, and the total number of seats available. However, to be eligible for NEET a general category candidate must score a minimum of 50th percentile in the exam. In the 2022 NEET exam, the minimum qualifying percentile for general category candidates was 50th percentile, which translated to a score of 720-147 out of 720 marks. It is advisable for candidates to aim for a score above the minimum qualifying percentile to increase their chances of getting admission to a good medical college.

In general, a score of 600+ is considered to be good for NEET which will ensure a high rank. However, given the high level of competition, if you wish to get admission to one of the top 10 colleges, then you must score above 700. But if you wish to get an MBBS seat and any of the decent medical colleges in India, then a score of 600+ is required. At the same time, a score of 550 or above may also fetch you an MBBS seat at a medical college towards the end of the counselling rounds. On the other hand, if you are aspiring to pursue a BDS or a B.Sc. Nursing, then a score above 500 should be able to fetch you a seat at a good Dental or Nursing colleges in India. Having said this, by if your score is lower than the marks mentioned above, you need not feel demoralised or demotivated. There are a lot of other medical specialisations or courses through NEET scores and you will always have a good option according to your score.

There are various factors which determine the NEET cutoff. The basic factors include the difficulty level of the exam, number of test takers, number of seats for admission, among others. The NEET 2024 cutoff is likely to be higher owing to the larger number of test takers as compared to the previous years and the easier difficulty level. Moreover, the number of test takers as well as the MBBS seats has also increased. Hence, there is a high possibility of the NEET 2024 cutoff increasing this year. Last year, the NEET cutoff for the General category candidate was 137-720. According to experts, the NEET 2024 cutoff is likely to be 150-720. NTA will release the NEET 2024 cutoff along with the result, which will be released on June 14, 2024.
