For being eligible for NEET as a Candidate belonging to OBC Category, you should secure a minimum of 40 percentile of the top NEET score. That is the cut off formula. Now the formula remains the same while the marks change. Cut offs change every year depending on various factors such as no.of Candidates appearing for the exam, no.of Candidates qualified, top NEET score and difficulty of the exam. In 2019, the cut off for OBC Category was 107-133 which was 15 marks greater than those of 2018. Now again as mentioned. cut offs change every year and so you should aim for securing atleast 150 to be qualified in NEET. But this is not enough for you to secure a seat. So you have to secure atleast 550 and above for a seat in Goverment Medical College and atleast 450 for a seat in a Private Medical College. This is just an approximate but yes your target should be nothing less than 550. Because in few States like Bihar, Delhi, UP,etc the cut offs are way higher than in other States like Tamilnadu, Gujarat, etc. So even if you do not belong to any one of these States but for securing a seat under All India Counselling in any one of these States, you will need more than 550.

Hi

NEET 2019 cut off marks for different categories is provided below:-


Category cutoff percentile cut off marks


General 50 704- 134


General PH 45 133-120


Obc/Sc/st 40 133- 107

But cut off marks vary 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.


So , try to get at least 20-30 marks more in comparison of neet 2019 in your neet 2020 to clear cut off , so being from obc category target getting around 130- 150 to clear the neet cut off

But , just clearing cut off marks will not help you If you want to get a seat in a Government medical College.

So, if you are from obc category , try to get at least 550 marks or more in NEET 2020 examination


Thankyou
