The NEET 2025 exam was conducted on May 4, 2025. The exam was conducted in a paper-and-pencil-based mode (PBT) in a single day and shift. According to the  NEET 2025 analysis, the exam difficulty level was extremely tough. Hence, the NEET 2025 cutoff has been lowered. In fact, some experts had predicted that the chances are low for candidates to score full marks of 720 in NEET 2025, which is also correct, as the highest score obtained is 686. The NEET 2025 counselling process started on July 21, 2025, and the first two rounds have been concluded. Round 3 of NEET Counselling 2025 is underway from September 29, 2025, onwards. The participating institutes release the NEET cutoff ranks after each round of counselling. 

Just getting the NEET 2025 cutoff does not guarantee admission to a medical college. Students have to participate in the NEET counselling process, and seats will be allotted based on various factors like choices filled, number of seats available, among others.
