Dear Rudra, to be qualified in NEET, you should be scoring a minimum of  40%. This 40 percentile is based on the top marks scored. And cut off varies from year to year and State to State. Cut off depends on the no. of candidates who appeared for the exam, the difficulty of the exam amd also the no. of candidates who qualified in the exam. In 2018, the cut off marks for OBC was 96-118. Having said that all qualified candidates cannot be guaranteed an admission. For example in Karnataka alone for a Government seat, the cut off marks ranged from 542 to 607. This is because not every Government college has the same cut off. So any score less than 550 puts you in a difficult spot for a Government seat in MBBS.

Hii Rudra, 

Myself Shalini.As you know in this time period there is too much competitions for getting admitted in government colleges.

So you have to work little hard to take admission in any government college. Previous years cut off  are-


Category     NEET 2018 marks       College marks

General             537                             Mizoram Institute                Of Medical Education and Research, Falkawn

OBC                    537                             Mizoram Institute Of Medical Education and Research, Falkawn

ST                        399                             Tezpur Medical       College, Tezpur

General PH        184                             Government Medical College Siddipet

OBC PH               210                             Silchar Medical College, Silchar

SC PH                    101                           Kodagu Institute of Medical Sciences, Kodagu

As you category is OBC so you should try to score more than 530 marks in NEET.
