New Delhi, May 20, 2025 — With the NEET UG 2025 exam successfully conducted on May 4, lakhs of aspirants across the country are now anxiously awaiting the release of the provisional answer key, result, and cut-off scores. Conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), the NEET UG exam determines admission to undergraduate medical courses across India. Here’s a comprehensive look at the expected cut-off trends, result schedule, and the factors influencing cut-off scores.

📌 NEET UG 2025 Answer Key and Result Date

• Provisional Answer Key: Expected by last week of May 2025

• Final Answer Key & Result: Likely to be released in the first or second week of June 2025

• Cut-Off Scores: Will be declared along with the results

📊 NEET 2025 Expected Cut-Off (Category-Wise)

💡 Note: In NEET 2024, the General category cut-off range was 720–162. Experts expect a possible drop of 40–50 marks this year due to higher difficulty levels.

🧪 Why NEET UG 2025 Cut-Off May Drop

This year’s NEET paper was considered moderately difficult by most coaching institutes and exam analysts. With 180 questions and a total score of 720 marks, many students found sections like Physics and Organic Chemistry challenging.

As a result, experts predict that the cut-off for government medical colleges may drop, offering relief to students who scored slightly below previous years’ benchmarks.

🔍 How NEET UG Cut-Off is Calculated: The Formula

The NTA uses several key factors to determine the cut-off:

1. Difficulty Level of the Exam

2. Total Number of Candidates Appearing

3. Overall Performance of Candidates

4. Availability of Seats

5. Previous Year Cut-Off Trends

The percentile cut-off formula is:

Percentile = (Number of candidates who scored less than you / Total candidates) × 100

This helps standardize scores across different sessions and ensures fairness.

📌 What Students Should Do Next

• ✅ Keep an eye on the official NEET website for updates

• 📥 Download and match your answers with the provisional key once released

• 📊 Use online NEET percentile calculators to estimate your ranking

• 📑 Prepare necessary documents for counseling processes (AIQ, State Quotas, etc.)

🎯 In Summary

Though the NEET UG 2025 paper was tougher than last year, students shouldn’t panic. The cut-off is expected to reflect the increased difficulty. Those who score slightly lower still stand a fair chance at securing admission to reputed government and private medical colleges.
