NEET 2025 Cut-Off Marks: A Comparative Look

The NEET cut-off marks for 2025 have increased slightly compared to last year. The general category cut-off stands at 137, while for SC/ST/OBC, it is 107. Here's a brief comparison:

Category	NEET 2024 Cut-off	NEET 2025 Cut-off
General (UR)	136	137
SC/ST/OBC	106	107
PwD (UR)	120	121

The marginal rise in cut-offs is attributed to the increased number of high-scoring candidates and a moderate exam difficulty level.

What’s Next After NEET Results?

With the results out, the next crucial step is the counselling process, which will be conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for 15% All India Quota (AIQ) seats, and separately by state authorities for the 85% State Quota seats.

Counselling Process Overview:

Registration: Candidates must register online on the MCC and respective state websites.
Choice Filling: Based on rank, preferences of colleges and courses are submitted.
Seat Allotment: Allotments are done based on merit, category, and availability.
Reporting to Colleges: Selected students must report with documents and admission fees.

Dates for NEET 2025 counselling are expected to be announced within the next few days. It’s advised to keep all documents like NEET scorecard, admit card, class 10th and 12th mark sheets, caste certificate (if applicable), and identity proof ready.

Private vs Government Medical Colleges: Admission Insight

One of the key decisions for students will be choosing between government and private medical colleges. With limited government seats (around 45,000), only top-ranked students can secure admission there. Private colleges, while more accessible, often come with significantly higher tuition fees, sometimes exceeding ₹50 lakhs for the full MBBS course.

For those aiming for AIIMS and JIPMER, it’s worth noting that they also admit students through the NEET UG merit list.

Top NEET Preparation Trends That Paid Off

Interviews with toppers reveal that the most successful strategies included:

NCERT-focused preparation: Every topper emphasized strong command over NCERT textbooks.
Mock tests and previous papers: Regular practice helped improve speed and accuracy.
Conceptual clarity over rote learning: A deeper understanding of biology, chemistry, and physics was key.
Balanced routine: Mental and physical well-being were considered vital during preparation.

Encouraging Gender and Regional Diversity

NEET 2025 saw nearly 48% of female candidates securing qualifying marks, reinforcing the growing presence of women in the medical field. Also notable is the rise in NEET-qualified students from rural areas, thanks to digital learning resources and government scholarship schemes.

Expert Opinion on NEET 2025
