These are the types of exams you can pursue rather than NEET.

Yes, you can likely apply to NEET PG with your provisional registration certificate, especially if you've completed your internship by the specified deadline. However, you'll need to ensure you meet all other eligibility criteria as well.

However try to get the permanent registration as soon as possible.

Yes, it is possible to change your category from OBC-NCL to General during MBBS counseling, even if you initially applied under OBC-NCL in the NEET application. While you cannot change the category on the application itself after the correction window closes, you can typically do so during the counseling process itself, especially if you are no longer eligible for the OBC-NCL category.

For the General category in NEET, aiming for a government medical college, a score of around 650- 720 is generally considered a good score for securing admission. The exact cutoff score varies based on the specific college and state. To be in the top 50th percentile, which is the cutoff for the General category, a score of 164 is needed.

The NEET cutoff marks vary each year depending on the difficulty of the exam, the number of applicants, and the number of seats available. However, the general trend is that the cutoff for the general category tends to be higher than that for reserved categories like OBC, SC, and ST. For the past few years, the NEET cutoff for the general category has been around 720-137.

Here's a general idea of the NEET cutoff for the last 5 years , based on available data:

General Category:

2023: 720-137

2022: 715-117

2021: 720-138

2020: 720-147

2019: 701-134

OBC/SC/ST Category:

2023: 136-107

2022: 116-93

2021: 137-108

2020: 146-113

2019: 133-107

Important Notes:

These are general cutoffs, and actual scores may vary based on the college and the state.

The NEET cutoff marks for the PwD (Persons with Disability) category are also lower than the general category.

It's essential to check the official NEET website for the most accurate and up-to-date information on cutoff marks and qualifying criteria.

The NEET cutoff for the General category over the past 5 years (2020-2024) has been in the range of 720-137 to 720-162 marks. For the OBC/SC/ST categories, the cutoff has generally been between 136-107 and 161-127 marks.

The NEET cutoff marks for PwD (General/UR) have fluctuated between 136-121 and 161-144, while the cutoffs for PwD (Reserved) have ranged from 120-107 to 143-127.

GOOD luck!!
