The minimum marks required in the 12th grade for admission to top medical colleges in India vary based on category and college-specific cutoffs.
Generally, for government medical colleges like AIIMS and those under NEET, candidates must secure at least 50% in PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) for the General category, 40% for SC/ST/OBC, and 45% for PwD candidates.
However, securing admission in premier institutions requires a high NEET score, often above 600-650 marks, as competition is intense. Private medical colleges may have lower NEET cutoffs, but meeting the 12th-grade eligibility criteria is essential for all.
