NEET UG Counselling: The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) says 144 marks in the NEET UG 2025 exam is enough to pursue MBBS this year in India or abroad. This is a big shift from previous years and expands eligibility for many aspirants.

NEET Qualifying Marks Drop
According to the National Testing Agency (NTA), the general category qualifying marks for NEET UG 2025 now range from 686 to 144, a steep decline from 720–162 in 2024.

Similarly, cut-offs for reserved categories have also dipped:

What standards of medical education these low qualified students will gain and they are the going to our future generations.
Medical education became pure business for govt officials and greedy money laundering except for few true patriots
Sir, in my career of more than 10 years in education sector, I have encountered many students who were average in academic of Indian education system, but went to become very successful in future careers whatever they choose. We can blame our flawed education system for this. For instance, most of the students who get top ranks are product of coaching system and dummy school culture where they are not exposed to practical learning. Now how can you say that they will become wonderful doctor.
