With this reduced cutoff, the competition for top medical colleges is expected to increase. NEET PG aspirants should stay updated on the counseling process, seat allotment, and category-wise cutoff trends to maximize their chances of admission.
Lower NEET PG Cutoff Announced
The Medical Counseling Committee (MCC) has reduced the NEET PG cutoff score this year, allowing more candidates to participate in counseling. Now, candidates securing at least 5% marks in any category will be eligible for counseling. As per the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, the revised qualifying percentile applies to all categories, including General, EWS, UR-PwBD, SC, ST, OBC, and PwBD candidates.

- 2022 Cutoff:
