NEET PG 2025 Cutoff Revised

Previously, the National Board of Examinations (NBE) revised the NEET PG 2025 cutoff for all categories. The cutoff was lowered to ensure that more candidates become eligible to participate in the counselling rounds. After Round-3 of MCC NEET PG Counselling 2025, nearly 18,000 seats remained vacant. To address this, NBE reduced the cutoff to the 0th percentile and a –40 score for the SC/ST category, which triggered significant debate. Critics argue that lowering the cutoff to –40 may impact the quality of doctors and could ultimately influence overall patient care.
