Hi

Neet qualifying cutoff percentile remains same every year which is provided below category wise:-

----------) General category :- 50 percentile

----------) OBC/ SC /ST :- 40 percentile

----------) UR- Ph :- 45 percentile


If I tell you about qualifying cut off marks then

This is very difficult to predict neet 2021 cut off as cut off marks keeps changing every year  depending upon various factors like :-

----------) number of students that appeared in the exam,

----------) kind of marks obtained by them ,

----------) toughness  level of the examination etc.

But yes,

Cut off marks will be more or less similar to previous years and when we go through past year qualifying cut off trends then last 3 years qualifying cut off data is given below for reference :-


.                 .  Year wise cut off marks

Category     2020             2019          2018


General   720-147        701-134      691-119


UR-PH     146-129         133-120      118-107


Obc/sc/st  146-113     133-107       118 - 96


So, for neet 2020 a general category student required at least 147 marks to qualify neet, to be on the safer side you should try to get at least 15 to 20 marks more  in comparison of Neet 2020 cut off as per your category i. e if you belong to general category then try to get atleast around 160 marks in order to qualify Neet 2021 .

But yes,

Just qualifying with Neet cutoff won't help you to fetch a seat in a Government Medical College so you should try to get at least around 575- 600 marks if you belong to general category.

Now , limited time is left for your neet 2021 examination, so focus on preparation, go through the chapters , practise questions and do revision ,go through mock test/ previous year papers.
