Hi

I am guessing you mean marks in neet 2021 to qualify it

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 then revise them, go through mock test papers once you are done with complete syllabus.

Hello,

The expected cut off for NEET 2021 would be:

General - 50th percentile, 701-134 score

OBC - 40th percentile, 133-107 score

SC - 40th percentile, 133 - 107 score

ST - 40th percentile, 133-107 score


The cut off marks for previous year i.e. 2020 was:

General - 147

General-PH - 129

SC/ST/OBC - 113

This is not the exact cut off. It can vary as it is the expected cut off as there are several factors which determine the cut off such as no. of candidates who appeared for the NEET exam, difficulty level of the exam, total NEET seats available etc.
