Cutoff
What the NEET Cutoff Means
The qualifying cutoff percentile is the minimum percentile you must achieve in NEET to be eligible for MBBS/BDS admissions and Telangana state or All‑India quota counselling. Clearing this cutoff allows you to participate in counselling, but it does not guarantee a seat, as actual admission cutoffs for colleges are often higher.
General (Unreserved) Category
Percentile required: 50th percentile
Approximate marks range: 686–144
Economically Weaker Section (EWS)
Percentile required: 50th percentile
Approximate marks range: 686–144
EWS follows the same cutoff as the General category.
Other Backward Classes (OBC‑NCL)
Percentile required: 40th percentile
Approximate marks range: 143–113
Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST)
Percentile required: 40th percentile
Approximate marks range: 143–113
Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD)
General‑PwBD: 45th percentile (≈143–127 marks)
OBC/SC/ST‑PwBD: 40th percentile (≈126–113 marks)
Important Notes
These cutoffs are for qualifying NEET UG 2025 and participating in counselling in Telangana — they are not the final admission cutoffs for specific colleges, which can be significantly higher.
Telangana colleges and authorities consider additional factors such as state quota, All-India quota ranks, reservation policies, and seat availability to determine actual admission cutoffs beyond the minimum qualifying marks.
