Historical fall in cutoff what is the reason?.
This time the NEET paper was difficult along with length. Therefore, the marks were much less than last year. This time the NEET 2025 paper was so difficult that the trend of cutoff has completely changed. The rank which was being obtained on 640 marks last year, is coming under 200 this time. That is, this time the cutoff has fallen historically.
In 2024, the rank on 640 marks was 38,000+
In 2025, the rank on 640 marks is around 200!
This means that this time the paper was so tough that even with low marks, high rank has come.
This has opened the way for even those with low marks to get better government MBBS colleges.
If you have marks above 520 Safe zone
If you are from general category and your marks are above 520, then these ranks are considered quite safe for you:
525+ 👉 Rank within 25,000
530+ 👉 Rank within 20,000
In this range, you can get AIQ (All India Quota) or Open State MBBS seat especially if you do counseling correctly.
If your marks are between 500-520 Wait a little, be a little sensible because your rank will be between 32,000-40,000. In such a case:
Mop-up rounds,
Stray vacancies,
Open states (MP, UP, Bihar, etc.)
Counselling of Deemed Universities etc. will all bring opportunities for you.
Smart counselling strategy and correct documentation can benefit you.
If your marks are below 500 what to do?
A lot is still possible:
BDS Government seats
BAMS/ BHMS/ BUMS
Private MBBS if you have the budget
Adopt the strategy of State Quota/Reserved Quota
NEET UG 2025 Marks Vs Rank: Counseling = Game of Mind
Even those with good marks lose seats by doing wrong counselling and those with less marks get MBBS with the right strategy. So if your rank is not in the top 1000 or 2000 then you have to think at every step: Like-
Filling the right option
Choosing a government vs private college
Understanding the open closing cutoff of states
Analysis of cutoff trends
Should you take a drop?
If your marks are between 450–500 this year and you are not getting an MBBS seat: then taking a drop can be a good option but only those students should take a drop who can work with focus throughout the year. Taking a drop to pass time or due to pressure is harmful.
Thinking of a drop? Think carefully this fall in cutoff does not happen every year.
