The NEET 2025 provisional answer key and OMR response sheet will be released by NTA in the first week of June 2025, within a month of conducting NEET 2025 exam. 

Although NTA did not announce the date of releasing the NEET answer key 2025, the expected date was by May-end. Since May is already over, it can be said that the NEET 2025 answer key release has been delayed.

NTA is yet to release the NEET 2025 answer key, even by May 31, 2025.

According to the  NEET 2025 analysis, the exam difficulty level was extremely tough. Hence, the NEET 2025 cutoff is expected to be low. The following table brings the tentative or expected NEET cutoff 2025 as per the expert prediction is given below.

Candidates must note that this is an indicative cutoff and is subject to change.

The NEET 2025 cutoff, or the qualifying cutoff or the pass marks, will be based on the following factors:

• Total number of candidates who appear for the examination: This year, the total number of candidates appearing for NEET 2025 is 20.8 lakh, which is approximately three lakh less compared to last year. Hence, the competition has decreased from last year.
• Difficulty level of the examination: As stated above, the overall difficulty level of the exam has increased compared to the previous years. Hence, the NEET 2025 expected cutoff is also likely to go down.
• Performance of the candidates: Owing to the high difficulty level of the exam, it is anticipated that the highest marks obtained by candidates may not be 720. In that scenario, the NEET 2025 expected cutoff is likely to be lower.
• Number of seats available: The total number of seats available for MBBS and BDS courses is 1,17,950 and 27,868, respectively. As compared to last year, the total number of MBBS seats has increased.
• NEET cutoff for previous years: Last year, the difficulty level of NEET was moderate to tough. As compared to this year, the difficulty level of the exam was very high. Accordingly, the NEET 2025 cutoff is expected to go lower. Incidentally, the NEET 2024 cutoff was decreased by two marks after the retest was conducted.

The following table brings the last three years' NEET cutoff. 

The following table brings last years' NEET cutoff for MBBS courses offered at Government medical colleges for General, SC and ST category candidates.
