NEET SS 2024 was conducted on March 29 and March 30, 2025, and the result was declared on April 25, 2025. The NEET SS 2024 cutoff was released along with the NEET SS 2024 result, separately for each of the 15 groups. The NEET SS cutoff is decided based on various factors. Let us discuss that in the following section.

Q:   Which NEET SS course have the highest and the lowest cutoffs?
A:

The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) or the exam conducting body for NEET SS releases the qualifying scores or the cutoff marks for each subjects along with the result. The highest NEET SS cutoff will be known after the results. However, the previous year trend shows that the cut off went the highest for the Respiratory Medicine Group, which was 365 and the lowest cutoff was for the group Orthopaedics, 254.

Q:   Will the NEET SS rank list change if the cut off is revised?
A:

No, revision of the NEET SS cutoff or qualifying percentile will not affect the rank obtained by the candidate in any way. However, in case the NEET SS cutoff is lowered, and more candidates qualify for the exam, then all those candidates will be eligible to participate in the NEET SS counselling process. Last year, additional rounds of NEET SS counselling were conducted since the cutoff was reduced later, to give equal scope to the newly qualified candidates of the exam. However, their merit positions or the All India Ranks did not change.  

Q:   What is the latest DM cutoff for CCSU based on NEET SS?
A:

Based on the NEET SS 2023 Round 1 Seat Allotment result, the closing ranks for DM in Endocrinology is 261. CCSU offers one DM course through NEET SS. Candidates can check out the latest NEET SS cutoff 2023 for CCSU admissions in the table below:
