Factors Impacting Admission to Medical Colleges
The admission process for the NEET participating colleges depends on the following factors:
- NEET Cutoff: First and foremost, candidates have to fulfil the NEET qualifying cutoff, which was released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) along with the result. Only those candidates who would be fulfilling the cutoff will be considered eligible to participate in the NEET 2025 counselling. According to experts, this year, the difficulty level of the exam was extremely tough. Moreover, the total number of test-takers was lower than last year, resulting in a lower NEET cutoff
- NEET Counselling: The NEET counselling is conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for the 15 per cent All India Quota (AIQ) seats, and the State Counselling authorities conduct the counselling process for the 85 per cent State Quota seats. Candidates have to participate in the counselling process to get a seat allotted. They must accept the seat and complete the admission process by the said date. Once a candidate joins an institute, he or she would not be allowed to participate in any further rounds of counselling or state counselling.
- Filling up the right choices: Candidates are advised to enter correct and feasible seat choices in terms of college and courses. While there is no restriction on the number of NEET counselling choice filling, candidates must be mindful whether their chosen course and college would be deemed fit for the scores or ranks obtained by them.
- Number of seats in the institute: The number of seats also plays an important role in the seat allotment process of the NEET participating institutes. Institutes with a low intake will exhaust their admission process sooner than those with a high seat intake. On the other hand, institutes with high seat intake will participate in multiple rounds of counselling till the time the seats are filled.
It is expected that MCC will conduct the NEET 2025 counselling process from July or August 2025 onwards. The state counselling authorities will begin the NEET state counselling process within a month of the commencement of the All India NEET 2025 counselling.
