NEET 2025 Qualifying Percentile
To appear in the NEET 2025 counselling process, candidates must meet the minimum qualifying cut-off released by NTA. However, securing admission in MBBS, BDS, or BAMS colleges requires scoring much higher than the qualifying percentile. This is known as the admission cut-off, which is determined by factors such as category, number of applicants, and seat availability in each medical college.
Here are the official NEET UG 2025 qualifying cut-off marks released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on June 14, 2025:
Category | Percentile | Cut-off Range (2025) |
General / EWS | 50th | 144 – 686 |
General-PwD | 45th | 127 – 143 |
OBC / SC / ST | 40th | 113 – 143 |
OBC/SC/ST-PwD | 40th | 113 – 126 |
The upper limit marks represent the highest score achieved this year (686/720 by AIR1 Mahesh Kumar, Rajasthan)—no candidate scored a perfect 720 this time.
Compared to 2024, the qualifying cut-offs dropped significantly: General decreased from 162 to 144, and SC/ST/OBC from 127 to 113

NEET Cut Off 2025 for MBBS in Government Colleges (Expected)
The NEET 2025 admission cut-off for MBBS seats in top government medical colleges is always significantly higher than the qualifying marks. This is because MBBS in government colleges is highly sought after due to affordable fees and excellent infrastructure. The actual admission cut-off depends on various factors such as:
- Total number of MBBS seats available
- NEET 2025 paper difficulty level
- Candidate category (UR, OBC, SC, ST, etc.)
- Number of candidates applying for counselling
The qualifying cut-off only makes a candidate eligible for counselling, but the admission cut-off is what truly determines if one can grab a seat in top medical colleges like AIIMS, MAMC, KGMU, etc. Based on previous trends, here's the expected NEET 2025 MBBS government college cut-off category-wise:
Expected NEET 2025 Cut-Off for Government MBBS Colleges:
Category | Expected Cut-Off (Marks) |
General (UR) | 605 – 625 |
EWS | 600 – 620 |
OBC | 590 – 610 |
SC | 470 – 490 |
ST | 455 – 475 |
Top Govt. Colleges (AIIMS, MAMC, KGMU) | 680+ |
Cut-offs for All India Quota (15%) are usually higher than those in state quota (85%).
NEET 2025 Admission Cut-Off for BAMS in Government AYUSH Colleges (Expected)
BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) has gained significant popularity in recent years due to increasing demand for alternative medicine and affordable fees in government AYUSH colleges. Government AYUSH institutions offer quality education at affordable fees, which attracts a large number of aspirants every year. The admission cut-off for BAMS is generally lower than MBBS but still competitive, especially for top institutes.
Expected NEET 2025 BAMS Cut-Off for Government Colleges
Category | Expected Cut-Off (Marks) |
General (UR) | 510 – 530 |
EWS | 500 – 520 |
OBC | 480 – 500 |
SC | 410 – 430 |
ST | 390 – 410 |
Top AYUSH colleges under All India Quota may require scores above 550+ for General category.
General Cut-Off Range for BAMS
For a broader view, here’s how the NEET score range aligns with BAMS admissions:
Category | Expected Marks Range | Comments |
General (UR) | 720 – 155 | Competitive AYUSH colleges ~600+ |
EWS | 720 – 155 | Similar trend to UR |
General-PH | 154 – 135 | PH reservation included |
OBC / SC / ST | 154 – 125 | Broad category estimate |
PH (SC/OBC/ST) | 135 – 125 | Reserved with PH |
Exact cut-offs will depend on seat matrix, college location, and category-wise demand.
