The NEET UG cutoff refers to the minimum percentile or score required to qualify for the exam and participate in the counseling process. The cutoff varies each year depending on factors such as exam difficulty, number of candidates, and seat availability. The qualifying percentile is fixed: 50th percentile for General category, 40th percentile for SC/ST/OBC categories, and 45th percentile for General-PwD candidates. For example, in recent years the qualifying marks for the General category have been roughly between 130 and 150 out of 720, although this range may change annually.
