NEET Result 2025: What to Expect, When It's Released, and What Comes Next

When you take the NEET, India's national medical entrance exam that determines admission to MBBS and BDS programs. Also known as National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, it's the single biggest gatekeeper to becoming a doctor in India. Your NEET result 2025, the official scorecard released by the NTA that shows your rank, percentile, and qualifying status doesn’t just tell you if you passed—it tells you where you stand among over 2 million candidates. This result decides whether you walk into a government medical college, a private institute, or back to the drawing board.

The NEET cutoff, the minimum score needed to qualify for counseling and seat allocation changes every year based on exam difficulty and candidate performance. In 2024, the general category cutoff was around 137 marks. For 2025, expect similar ranges unless the paper is unusually hard or easy. Your percentile matters more than your raw score—because seats are filled based on rank, not absolute marks. If you’re aiming for top colleges in Delhi, Maharashtra, or Tamil Nadu, you’ll likely need a 99+ percentile. For state quota seats, the bar might be lower, but competition is still fierce.

After the result drops—usually in early June—you’ll have just days to register for NEET counseling, the official process where your rank determines which college and course you get. This isn’t just filling a form. You need to research colleges, understand state vs. all-India quotas, and prioritize choices wisely. A mistake here can cost you a seat you qualified for. Many students miss out not because of low scores, but because they didn’t understand how the counseling system works.

You’ll see how to interpret your scorecard, what to do if you’re just below cutoff, how to pick the right coaching for next year, and why some faculties are better than others for NEET prep.
