Dear Priya, first off to be eligible for NEET, you should have completed your 10+2 and scored an aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. It is 50% for General Category, 45% for PWD and 40% for OBC,SC,ST. Now once you appear for NEET, the cut offs will be released. Though cut offs change every year, cut offs are dependant on various factors like no.of candidates appearing for the exam, no.of candidates qualified, top NEET score and difficulty of the exam. In 2019, the cut offs went higher by 15 marks from 2018. It is yet to be known what might be the cut offs for 2020. Now mere securing cut offs cannot get a Medical Seat. In 2019, the cut offs went so high that Cabdidates with 550 and above score had to be satisfied with a MBBS seat in Private Medical College. Again, against some 60,000+ MBBS seats across India in 2018, the number increased to 90,000+ MBBS seats is 2019 and 5,200 seats being accomodated to EWS reservation. Now talking about Categories, its just not your score but also your Category that plays a role in your name showing up on the merit list. As of now the reservations that are in place are:
OBC: 27%
EWS: 10%
SC: 15%
ST: 7.5%
The remaining reservations like PWD,  Sports, Women Category, Ex Servicemen and Defense, Victims of terrorism, etc are available at Horizontal level at the respective State Counsellings. Now we all also have 2 levels of Counselling. Under All India Quota, All the 15% of All India Quota Seats except for Jammu and Kashmir, 100% Seats at Deemed and Central Universities, IP Quota seats in ESIC Colleges, Seats at AFMC are filled by DGHS. The 85% State Quota and Private Colleges are filled by the respective State Authorities. So each college has a different cut off for All India Counselling and State Counselling for different Categories. Now NEET 2020 dates have been released by NTA and they have been mentioned here for you:

Registration Dates: 2nd to 31st December, 2019
Downloading of Admit Cards: 27th March, 2020
