This year, the cut off for NEET UG has been lowered for all categories of candidates. A variety of factors help determine the cut off including the difficulty level of the exam, number of candidates appearing for the exam, number of seats available, and the performance given by the candidates.

What these scores mean
It’s important to note that these are qualifying cut-offs, not admission cut-offs. The qualifying marks simply indicate eligibility for further rounds, while admission cut-offs for individual colleges will vary based on:
- Number of seats available
- College popularity
- Reservation norms
- State vs All India Quota seat distribution
- Candidate performance
For example, government MBBS colleges under the All India Quota (15%) may have closing ranks much higher than the qualifying marks, particularly for the General category.
