"The only way to do great work is to love what you do." - Steve Jobs

The cut-off marks for NEET are determined by various factors, such as the difficulty level of the exam, the number of students appearing for the exam, and the availability of seats in various medical colleges. The cut-off marks for NEET vary every year, depending on these factors. However, the general trend is that the cut-off marks for the top medical colleges are higher than the cut-off marks for the other colleges.

In 2021, the NEET cut-off marks for admission to the top medical colleges in India were around 720-730 out of a total of 720 marks. This means that candidates who scored above 720-730 marks in NEET were eligible for admission to the top medical colleges in India. However, candidates who scored between 650-700 marks were also able to secure admission to some of the other top medical colleges in India.

The cut-off marks for admission to government medical colleges are usually lower than the cut-off marks for private medical colleges. In 2021, the cut-off marks for admission to government medical colleges were around 550-600 marks, while the cut-off marks for admission to private medical colleges were around 600-650 marks.

It is important to note that the cut-off marks for NEET also vary based on the category of the candidate. For example, the cut-off marks for admission to medical colleges for candidates belonging to the SC/ST category are lower than the cut-off marks for candidates belonging to the general category.

In conclusion, the NEET cut-off marks play a crucial role in determining the eligibility of candidates for admission to top medical colleges in India. While the cut-off marks vary every year, candidates who score above 700 marks are usually able to secure admission to the top medical colleges in India. However, it is important to keep in mind that the cut-off marks for NEET also vary based on the category of the candidate, and candidates belonging to the SC/ST category may have a lower cut-off than candidates belonging to the general category.
