NEET MDS Cut-off

The NEET MDS cut off is the qualifying marks that a candidate needs to clear the exam and participate further in the counselling process. Candidates who fail to get the cutoff marks do not get into the merit list and are also ineligible for the NEET MDS counselling.

NBE or the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), the NEET MDS exam conducting authority, releases the cutoff scores or the qualifying scores along with the result. The NEET MDS 2025 result was released on May 15, 2025. The NEET MDS 2025 cutoff was also released on the same date. However, on August 14, 2025, NBE released a notice stating the reduction of the NEET MDS 2025 cutoff percentile by 19.863 percentile for all categories, as per the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare recommendation.
