With over 12 lakh candidates appearing for NEET UG this year, the focus now shifts to the qualifying scores, category-wise cut-off range, and whether students have met the eligibility criteria for admission into MBBS, BDS, and other undergraduate medical programs.

 NEET UG 2025 Cut-Off Marks: Category-Wise Score Range

The cut-off scores for NEET UG 2025 have been officially released by NTA. These marks determine the minimum qualification benchmark required to participate in the NEET UG counselling process.

 Category-Wise NEET Cut-Off 2025 (Out of 720)

Category Cut-Off Score Range Number of Qualified Candidates
General (UR) / EWS 686 – 144 11,01,151
OBC 143 – 113 8,8692
SC 143 – 113 3,1995
ST 143 – 113 1,3940
UR / EWS – PwBD 143 – 127 472
OBC – PwBD 126 – 113 216
SC – PwBD 126 – 113 48
ST – PwBD 126 – 113 17
Total Qualified 12,36,531

Note: PwBD = Persons with Benchmark Disabilities

The NEET 2025 qualifying percentile remained the same as last year, but the absolute score thresholds have slightly shifted, reflecting changes in exam difficulty and competition.

 NEET UG 2025 Toppers: AIR 1 to AIR 3

This year, Mahesh Kumar from Rajasthan has secured Rank 1 in NEET UG 2025 with a stellar 99.9999547 percentile, placing him at the very top of the all-India merit list.

Top 3 NEET UG 2025 Rank Holders:

Rank Name State Percentile
1 Mahesh Kumar Rajasthan 99.9999547
2 Utkarsh Avadhiya Madhya Pradesh 99.9998189
3 Krishang Joshi Maharashtra 99.9998189

Interestingly, nine out of the top ten NEET rank holders are male, with only one female candidate in the top 10 list. This continues a trend seen in previous years where boys have marginally outperformed girls in top NEET ranks, although overall participation is often higher among female candidates.

 NEET UG Cut-Off Comparison: 2023 to 2025

Here’s a look at how NEET cut-off scores have changed over the past three years for various categories:

Category Cut-Off 2023 Cut-Off 2024 Cut-Off 2025
UR / EWS 720–137 720–164 686–144
OBC / SC / ST 136–107 163–129 143–113
UR / EWS – PwBD 136–121 163–146 143–127
Reserved – PwBD 120–107 145–129 126–113

These variations indicate how competitive the exam has become, with cut-off ranges increasing especially for unreserved and economically weaker sections.

 NEET Score vs. Government MBBS Admission: What’s Required?

One of the most pressing questions for candidates is: “What score do I need for a government medical college?”

While the qualifying cut-off gets you eligible for counselling, securing a seat in a government MBBS college requires a much higher score, depending on:

Approximate Score Benchmarks for Government MBBS Seats (2025 Estimate):

Category All India Quota State Quota (Top States)
UR 680+ 620–640+
OBC 640+ 590–610+
SC 580+ 520–540+
ST 560+ 500–520+

Note: Exact cut-offs will be revealed during NEET UG 2025 counselling rounds.

NEET UG 2025 Counselling: What Happens Next?

After clearing the NEET cut-off, students must participate in counselling rounds conducted by MCC (Medical Counselling Committee) for All India Quota (AIQ) and by respective state authorities for State Quota seats.

Documents Required for NEET Counselling:

  • NEET 2025 Scorecard

  • NEET Admit Card

  • Class 10 & 12 Marksheet

  • Category Certificate (if applicable)

  • Domicile Certificate

  • Passport-size Photos

  • ID Proof (Aadhaar/PAN/Passport)

The counselling process typically includes registration, choice filling, seat allotment, document verification, and admission confirmation.

NEET UG 2025 has once again proven to be India’s most competitive medical entrance exam, with over 12 lakh students competing for less than 1 lakh MBBS/BDS seats across government and private colleges.

Students who have qualified are now advised to:

  • Keep all documents ready for counselling

  • Start researching colleges and fee structures

  • Monitor official websites for counselling schedules

For those who narrowly missed the cut-off, options like B.Sc. Nursing, AYUSH courses, or even next year’s preparation remain open.
