Candidate Reactions on NEET 2025 Result
After the NEET 2025 result declaration, Shiksha.com ran another poll asking candidates, ‘Are you satisfied with your NEET 2025 result?’ As per the responses, only 16 per cent candidates have stated that they have scored as per expectations. On the other hand, 28 per cent of candidates have voted for the option ‘Cleared cutoff, but expected better marks’.
Majority of the candidates, accounting to 33 per cent, have voted for the option ‘Not satisfied, could not clear cutoff’. Take a look at the poll snapshot below.
Owing to a very high difficulty level of the NEET 2025 question paper, the cutoff is much lower than last year. Hence, the overall sentiment among candidates turned out to be gloomy. In fact, candidates could not score full marks of 720 this year and the highest marks obtained was 686.
The next step for candidates is the NEET 2025 counselling process, which is likely to begin in July or August 2025. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is the conducting authority for the 15 per cent All India Quota (AIQ) seats and State Counselling authorities will conduct the counselling process for 85 per cent State Quota seats.

Yes, in most colleges. NCAHP said NEET UG will not be mandatory for BPT and BOT in the 2026-27 session. Many colleges admit through Class 12 PCB marks or their own tests. Top government colleges like KGMU still use NEET. Check each college's notice. Keep your PCB marksheet ready.

Usually no. Colleges admit students through CUET, JEE Main, university tests or state engineering exams. Amity Bengaluru's B.Tech Biotechnology also accepts NEET or AMCAT scores. So NEET can help in a few cases. Check each college's list of accepted exams.

Yes, for some of them. Bahra lists scholarships based on JEE Main marks and CLAT rank, along with BUSET, CAT, MAT, and CUET percentile scores. I am not sure about NEET, so confirm that with the admissions office.
