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 | 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 |

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.
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.
| 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.
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.
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
| 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.
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.

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.
