Look eligibility of marks for SC candidates is varying we can't tell the exactly cutoff of any category as it varies each year you should at these moment dedicate your complete time studying some or the other subjects instead of check out the cutoff marks as they are relevantly of no use as such so please I would Recommend you to not to waste your precious time look cutoff totally depends on the quality of paper toughness of the paper and number of students appearing for the exam so instead of  checking out the cutoff give your 100% and study hard till the exam date.

Hello Ankush,

The cut off score of NEET 2017 has been released along with the result on June 23, 2017. The exam conducting authority, CBSE has released the cut off score of NEET 2017 for all categories.The NEET 2017 cut off is the qualifying score/percentile for the test. It must be noted that NEET 2017 cut off score is the lowest possible marks a candidate must obtain in order to qualify NEET 2017.As per the NEET Cut Off 2017 data, unreserved candidates have to score in the bracket of 697 to 131 marks to clear the 50th percentile Cut Off requirement and be eligible for NEET 2017 Counselling.

For reserved categories, i recommend you try to achieve a score of around 300. This should be enough to get a good government college. However one cannot be sure of cutoffs until the exam

Hello Ankush,
, As per your query about score to pass neet.. I would like to tell you it varies every year... It depends on lots of factors like difficulty level of paper and number of students getting that mark etc... It also depends on.. It will be different for Government, Private and Deemed medical colleges.... Also it will differ you applying from All india quota 15% or State quota 85%... Cut off of state quota is usually lower than all india quota...


no one can predict such things. We dont know how a student is studying in some distance of this vast country. But there are always some safer scores which can be predicted.


Overall for sc category if you want to know if you are on the safer side or not, try scoring 450+


Hope its helps you.

Hello ,
If you're looking for admission into a medical college then it's not about the eligibility criteria only.
As per the books, if you are appearing with SC category you need 40% in aggregate and each of physics chemistry and Biology in your Board examinations having passed your Board examinations.
And you need to secure 40th percentile in your Neet examination proper.
That could mean score of around 250 + ...preferably 300 +
But even if you are appearing with SC certificate I would recommend that in order to get into a good Medical College you in for a score of above 400 out of 720.
That will keep the options of availing good medical colleges across the country through the 15% all India quota as well as dose of your state using the 85% state quota and it will be left to your discretion which one you want to avail.
Hope this helps thank you

Hi

    Minimum percentile score for passing NEET was 50% that was around 135-140 out of 720.

Seems easy right, so does the remaining 11 lakh students.
Admissions are based on the merit list, so the least mark for an SC Candidate would come around 350-360

Please do not consider these factors mainstream , it may limit you goals in aiming high.

Hi , it varies every year , but a score of 400 plus will be safe bet. Aim for it. Good luck
