How many marks are required in NEET for MBBS?

One of the most common questions asked by NEET aspirants is how many marks are required to clear the NEET 2023 exam for MBBS. The answer to this question varies every year as the NEET cutoff marks are dependent on various factors such as the difficulty level of the exam, the number of candidates who appeared for the exam, and the availability of seats in various medical colleges.

The NEET exam consists of 200 multiple-choice questions with a total score of 720 marks. The marking scheme is such that for every correct answer, four marks are awarded, and for every incorrect answer, one mark is deducted. Therefore, the NEET 2023 score of a candidate is calculated based on the number of correct answers minus the number of incorrect answers multiplied by one.

To clear the NEET exam, candidates are required to obtain a minimum NEET 2023 qualifying score. The qualifying score for NEET previous year was 117 out of 720 for unreserved category candidates and 116 for reserved category candidates. This means that candidates belonging to the unreserved category need to score at least 117 marks to be eligible for admission into medical colleges, whereas candidates belonging to the reserved category need to score at least 116 marks.

However, candidates must note that merely obtaining the NEET minimum qualifying score does not guarantee admission into medical colleges. The medical admission process through NEET is based on the candidate's NEET score, rank in the NEET exam, and eligibility for admission based on various criteria set by admission authorities.
