MCC Reduces NEET PG 2025 Cutoff

MCC had reduced the qualifying cutoff for NEET PG 2025 after completing the second round of counselling. The purpose of reducing the cutoff was to make more students eligible for the admission process. This decision was taken because top sets and colleges were already filled in NEET PG counselling rounds 1 & 2, and students were not participating in the next few rounds. The revised NEET PG 2025 cutoff is mentioned below.

Q:   Why does MCC reduce NEET PG cutoff?
A: 

MCC reduces NEET PG cutoff to fill vacant seats remain after starting two rounds. It is being said students who score top rank wish to get top branches and colleges and they do get usually in round-1 and round-2 NEET PG counselling. Once these coveted seats get filled, students have least chance to get them in remaining rounds. That is reason cutoff is reduced to encourage and make more students elligible for NEET PG counselling.
