NEET Marking Scheme

Note: From 2021, each section has 2 parts — Section A (35 compulsory) and Section B (15, attempt any 10).

NEET Cut-Off Marks

Qualifying Cut-Off (to be eligible for counselling)

Note: These are approximate figures based on recent years. Actual cut-offs are declared by NTA with the result. Qualifying the cut-off makes you eligible for counselling — it does not guarantee admission.

Admission Cut-Off (for top colleges)

Admission cut-offs depend on the college, course, and category. For government MBBS seats:

• Top AIIMS: AIR under 100
• Top government medical colleges: AIR under 5,000-15,000
• State government colleges (home state): Varies by state

All India Rank (AIR) Explained

Your All India Rank is determined by your NEET score. In case of a tie (same marks), NTA uses these tie-breaking criteria in order:

1. Higher marks in Biology
2. Higher marks in Chemistry
3. Fewer wrong answers overall
4. Older candidate gets preference

Category Ranks

Apart from AIR, NTA also declares:

• Category rank (OBC/SC/ST/EWS rank within that category)
• State merit list rank (for state counselling)
• PwD rank (if applicable)

NEET Counselling Process

NEET counselling happens at two levels:

1. All India Quota (AIQ) Counselling — MCC

Conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) at mcc.nic.in for 15% All India Quota seats:

1. Registration on MCC portal with NEET roll number
2. Choice filling — select preferred colleges and courses
3. Seat allotment — based on NEET AIR, category, and choices
4. Report to college with original documents and fees
5. Multiple rounds — 4 rounds including mop-up and stray vacancy

2. State Counselling — 85% State Quota

Each state conducts separate counselling for 85% state quota seats:

• Register on the respective state counselling portal
• Fill choices from colleges in that state
• Allotment based on NEET score and state merit list

Documents for Counselling

• NEET score card and admit card
• Class 10 and 12 mark sheets and certificates
• Category/EWS/PwD certificate (if applicable)
• Domicile/residence certificate (for state quota)
• ID proof (Aadhaar card) — see our Aadhaar guide
• Passport-size photographs
• Transfer certificate from school

Important Tips

1. Check results only on the official NTA portal — avoid fake result sites
2. Download your score card as soon as it is available — the portal gets heavy traffic
3. Register for both AIQ and state counselling — this maximizes your chances
4. Keep all original documents ready before counselling begins
5. Do not miss counselling deadlines — seats are forfeited if you don't report on time

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: When will NEET UG result be declared?

NTA typically declares NEET results within 4-6 weeks after the exam. Check nta.ac.in for the official announcement.

The result shows your marks and rank on screen. The score card is a downloadable PDF document that you need for counselling and admission.

Q3: Can I get admission with NEET qualifying marks?

Qualifying the cut-off makes you eligible for counselling, but admission depends on your rank, preferred college, and seat availability. Many private colleges admit at qualifying marks.

Q4: Is there any provision for NEET result revaluation?

No. NTA does not allow re-evaluation of NEET. You can challenge the answer key during the objection window before results.
