To clear NEET 2025, the minimum marks required to qualify vary by category as follows:
- General (UR) category: Around 144 marks out of 720 (50th percentile)
- OBC/SC/ST categories: Around 113 marks out of 720 (40th percentile)
- PwD category cutoffs are slightly lower, e.g., General-PwD around 127 marks (45th percentile)
These are the qualifying marks to pass NEET. However, the marks required to actually get a seat in government medical colleges are higher and vary by category, state, and college. For example, good chances for government MBBS seats generally require around 590 to 650+ marks for General category candidates, with lower cutoffs for reserved categories. In summary, clearing NEET means scoring the minimum qualifying marks mentioned above, but admission to MBBS seats typically needs a significantly higher score depending on competition and quotas.
