Factors Deciding NEET 2025 Cutoff
The NEET 2025 cutoff, or the qualifying cutofff or the pass marks will be based on the following factors:
- Total number of candidates who appear for the examination: This year, the total number of candidates appearing for NEET 2025 is 22.09 lakh, which is approximately three lakh less compared to last year. Hence, the competition has decreased from last year.
- Difficulty level of the examination: As stated above, the overall difficulty level of the exam has increased compared to the previous years. Hence, the NEET 2025 cutoff has gone down.
- Performance of the candidates: Owing to the high difficulty level of the exam, the highest marks obtained by candidates is not 720, but 686. In that scenario, the NEET 2025 expected cutoff is lower.
- Number of seats available: The total number of seats available for MBBS and BDS courses is 1,18,190 and 27,868, respectively. As compared to last year, the total number of MBBS seats has increased.
- NEET cutoff for previous years: Last year, the difficulty level of NEET was moderate to tough. As compared to this year, the difficulty level of the exam was very high. Accordingly, the NEET 2025 cutoff is expected to go lower. Incidentally, the NEET 2024 cutoff was decreased by two marks after the retest was conducted.
