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:

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 |

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:
-
The state you belong to (state quota vs. all India quota)
-
Your category (UR, OBC, SC, ST)
-
The medical college’s reputation and demand
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 Admit Card
-
Class 10 & 12 Marksheet
-
Category Certificate (if applicable)

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.
