FAQs

Is NEET SS admission cutoff the same for all colleges?

No, the admission cutoff differs from college to college. Top government institutes and Institutes of National Importance (INIs) generally have higher cutoffs, while private and deemed universities may have comparatively lower cutoffs depending on demand and seat intake.

Can admission cutoff be lower than qualifying cutoff?

No, admission cutoff can never be lower than the qualifying cutoff percentile. Only candidates who qualify NEET SS are considered for admission, and among them, seats are allotted based on rank and preferences.

Are NEET SS admission cutoffs released officially?

Admission cutoffs are not released in advance. However, after each counselling round, closing ranks for allotted seats are published, which candidates use as reference cutoffs for future counselling rounds and upcoming academic years.

Does NEET SS admission cutoff vary by course?

Yes, the admission cutoff varies significantly across super-specialty courses. Highly competitive branches like Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Neurology, and Neurosurgery usually have higher cutoffs compared to less preferred or newly introduced super-specialty courses.

How is NEET SS admission cutoff different from qualifying cutoff?

The qualifying cutoff is a fixed percentile set by NBEMS to allow candidates to participate in counselling, whereas the admission cutoff is the closing rank or score at which seats are finally allotted. A candidate may qualify NEET SS but still fail to secure admission if their rank does not meet the admission cutoff of the desired college or specialty.
