Dear Atharva, You haven't mentioned the State that you belong to or the college that you want to get an admission in. Cut off varies from year to year and is dependant on various factors like number of candidates who appeared for the examination, difficulty of the exam, available seats and the top score. As a candidate of General Category, you should score 50% of the top score to be qualified for NEET. For example, if the NEET Top scorer has scored 600 in NEET, you should score atleast 300 to be qualified in NEET. Now, not every candidate who has qualified can get an admission in a Medical College. In Tamilnadu, the General Category had a cut off more than 550. It is almost the same with Karnataka. So if you want to get admission in a Medical college under General Category, your score should be nothing less than 550.

Hey, 

For general category, you are supposed to get 50th percentile which means you will have to score minimum around 120 to get qualified. Based on the previous years, If you score somewhere between 120-691, you will be safe. Don't lose hope and stay optimistic. 

Thank you and keep asking.
