Since the competition is increasing yearly, aspirants must acquaint themselves with the entrance exam admission criteria for the most-coveted MBBS program. One of the most critical questions is – what are the minimum qualifying marks required in NEET 2023 for MBBS admission in India? Let’s find out.

What are the Minimum Qualifying Marks Required in NEET 2023 for MBBS?

For national-level entrance examinations like NEET-UG, candidates must clear the cut-off, the minimum marks required to qualify for NEET-UG2023.

The NEET-UG cut-off is divided into two categories:

• NEET 2023 Qualifying cut-off
• NEET 2023 Admission cut-off

The Qualifying Cut-off is the minimum marks a candidate must score to pass the exam, whereas the Admission Cut-off is the last rank at which a candidate will be admitted.

Here we’ll be addressing the NEET-UG 2023 MBBS cut-off. The NTA will decide NEET-UG 2023 cut-off based on several factors, including the exam’s difficulty level, the number of candidates, their performance, the number of seats available, etc.

Simply put, candidates who score above the cut-off marks are eligible for MBBS admission, while candidates who score less than the cut-off marks are not eligible for MBBS admission. Different categories, including General, SC, ST, OBC, and PwD, have different cut-off scores. It is significant to note that the rank, established based on the candidates’ marks and used to establish merit order for admission, differs from cut-off marks.

The authorities will announce the NEET-UG 2023 cut-off for admission will be announced after the result.
