NEET PG Result 2024: What can be the expected cut-off?

NEET PG 2024 Result: Candidates who appeared for the NEET PG 2024 on August 11 can expect a minor increase in the cut-off due to an increase in the number of candidates. The number of NEET PG candidates appearing in both shifts was over two lakh — 1,07,959 students in shift 1 and 1,08,177 in shift 2.

The expected NEET PG 2024 cut-off as per Ranjith AR, academic director, Physics Wallah MedEd, based on trends from the past five years, is as follows:

Unreserved (UR) candidates: 285-295 (50th percentile),

SC/ST/OBC candidates: 250-260 (40th percentile)

UR-PH: 260-270 (45th percentile),

SC/ST/OBC-PH: 245-255 (40th percentile).

“These predictions could vary slightly due to the two-session format and normalization process,” the academic director added.

According to Gaurav Tyagi, founder of Career Xpert, the NEET PG cut-off for general category candidates will increase. This year, the cut-off for general/ EWS category candidates will be around 280 and 295. For the general – PwBD and SC, ST, OBC and PwBD of SC, ST and OBC, he expects the cut-off to be between 245 and 260.

“The complexity of the NEET PG 2024 exam was higher than in prior years, especially in its second shift. It emphasized the importance of taking a balanced approach to academic understanding and practical application, with a focus on clinical and image-based problems,” he added.

The NEET PG cut-off for general category candidates was reduced from the 50th percentile to 35th in 2022. The cut-off for unreserved PwD candidates was dropped from the 45th percentile to the 20th percentile and for students belonging under SC, ST and OBC (including PwD of SC, ST, and OBC), the cut-off was reduced to the 20th percentile from the 40th.

The minimum score needed to be eligible for admission to postgraduate medical programmes is the NEET PG cutoff. Each category and institution has a different limit. The cut-off for the general category is usually between 275 and 300 out of 800. It is lower for reserved categories. Individuals who score higher than the minimum qualify for counselling and entrance to graduate programmes such as MS, MD, and diploma courses. The number of candidates, exam difficulty, and available seats are some of the variables that could affect the cut-off each year.
