Background, Cut-offs, and What Lies Ahead
The NEET UG exam is India’s largest medical entrance test, serving as the gateway to undergraduate courses in MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, and allied health sciences. The 2025 exam was conducted smoothly on May 4 under strict supervision, although some question papers faced criticism for ambiguous phrasing.
The NTA addressed these concerns by releasing a provisional answer key and allowing candidates to submit objections, which were reviewed before publishing the final answer key. The Madras High Court dismissed petitions seeking a re-examination, clearing the path for the timely declaration of results.
With the general category cut-off lowered to 686–144, candidates have a clearer picture of the competitive landscape. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is expected to commence centralised counselling shortly, followed by state-level counselling rounds, enabling candidates to secure admissions in medical and dental colleges across the country.
