New Delhi: The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has lowered the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET PG)

\n\n

2025 cut-off. The decision comes ahead of the upcoming NEET PG round 3 counselling process which will soon be announced by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) on its official website, mcc.nic.in.

The reduction in cut-off percentiles is expected to increase the number of eligible candidates for postgraduate medical admissions. While the qualifying percentile has been changed, NBEMS has clarified that there is no change in NEET PG 2025 ranks.

NEET PG 2025 cut-off reduced, more seats added

The cut-off percentile for the General category has been reduced from the 50th percentile to the 7th percentile. For candidates belonging to the Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Other Backward Class (OBC) categories the cut-off has been reduced from the 40th percentile to 0 percentile. This allows candidates with very low or even negative scores with up to -40 marks to qualify for counselling.

\n\n

Recently, MCC has revised the seat matrix by adding 540 seats. Additionally, 135 new postgraduate medical seats have been introduced taking the total number of PG medical seats in India to 32,215.

West Bengal saw the highest increase in seats with 46 new seats added including those at North Bengal Medical College.
