NEET-UG Results 2022: Before result releases, here’s expected cut-off

According to the NTA schedule, the score cards for NEET UG 2022 will be released on September 7 at the official website — neet.nta.nic.in. Candidates would need to enter their application number, password and security pin to check their results.

According to experts, the cut off this year for general category should be the “50th percentile which will be around 145 out of 720. So, the range should be 720 – 145,” said Saurabh Kumar, chief academic officer of Vidyamandir Classes. Some experts also believe that the cut-off for the “general category can be 720-138 Marks and 108-137 for OBC/SC/ST categories,” said Anmol Sharma from Unacademy.

Experts are also predicting that nearly 21000 to 22000 students from general category will get admitted in major government institutions this year. “As per government decision to increase number of seats in medical college, there will surely be an impact on the cut off since it will be a golden chance for students to work hard and secure position. We expect that cut off for general category to be between 21000-22000 while other sections might not be effected much,” said Dipak Jha, CEO and founder of Gurusiksha.

Last year, NEET cut off marks for general category was 720-138 marks, for SC / ST / OBC category it was 137-108 marks, for the general-PwD category it was 137-122 marks, and for SC / ST / OBC-PwD it was 121-108 marks. In the year 2020, the cut-off for general category candidates was 720-147 marks and for SC / ST / OBC category candidates it was 146-113 marks. As for the general PwD and SC / ST / OBC-PwD candidates, the minimum qualifying marks were 146-129 and 128-113, respectively.

The cut-off is calculated on the basis of the difficulty level of NEET 2022 question paper, total number of available seats and the total number of candidates appearing for NEET 2022 exam, Sharma explained.
