BHM

The cutoff marks for BHM programs vary depending on the institute and the year, but typically range from 50% to 60% for General category, 45% to 55% for OBC category, and 40% to 50% for SC/ST category. However, meeting the cutoff alone is not sufficient to secure admission as candidates must also pass the NCHMCT JEE entrance exam. The minimum qualifying marks for the exam are 40% for General, 35% for OBC, and 30% for SC/ST candidates. These marks may change every year, so it is important to regularly check the updated information on the NCHMCT JEE's official website.
