NBE or the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), the NEET SS exam conducting authority, releases the cutoff scores or the qualifying scores along with the result. Even though NBE announces the NEET SS qualifying percentile in the information bulletin, the exact qualifying marks, or the NEET SS cutoff is released on the day of the result declaration. The NEET SS 2024 cutoff has been released on April 25, 2025, along with the result.
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.
The NEET SS 2024 cutoff has been reduced to zero prior to the Round 3 counselling. In a letter written by the Government of India to NBEMS, the exam conducting body, it has been stated that candidates who have appeared for the NEET SS 2024 counselling and have fulfilled the exam eligibility criteria can participate in the third round of the exam counselling. In the past two years, MCC had reduced cut off for NEET SS by 20 percentile for each speciality.
