NEET PG 2025 Cut-Offs Revised
In a separate development, the MCC announced revised cut-off scores for NEET PG 2025. The minimum eligibility percentile for general category candidates has been lowered to 0 percentile. For candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), and Other Backward Class (OBC) categories, the revised cut-off is -40 marks.
These changes directly impact candidate eligibility for the upcoming Round 3 counseling. Applicants should re-evaluate their qualification status based on these new scores to proceed with admissions.
