how many marks passed neet in open category?
Hello,
You qualify in NEET a candidate must score minimum qualifying marks specified by NTA. The minimum qualifying mark is the cut off mark and it changes every year depending on number of candidates appeared, highest score in exam, difficulty level of exam, number of seats available etc.
In 2020 the cut off marks for NEET for general category candidates was 50th percentile and 147-720 marks. So candidates scoring minimum 147-720 marks and above will qualify in NEET and are eligible to get admission in a college. This cut off changes every year depending on number of candidates appeared, highest score in exam, difficulty level of exam, number of seats available and previous year cut off. The cut off for NEET 2021 may slightly increase or decrease depending on the above mentioned factors. To have a decent chance of getting seat in a college you need to score minimum 600-620 marks or above.
