NEET SS Cut Off

NEET SS cutoff should be understood separately from the qualifying requirement and the actual admission closing rank.

Qualifying Cutoff

The qualifying percentile/criteria are prescribed by the competent authority and can be modified through subsequent official notices.

For example, NBEMS issued a notice on 22 September 2026 regarding reduction in the qualifying percentile of NEET-SS 2025, showing that qualifying criteria can be revised after the examination.

Therefore, candidates should not assume that the previous year's qualifying marks will automatically apply to NEET SS 2026.

Admission Cutoff

The actual rank required for a particular DM/M.Ch./DrNB seat can vary according to:

• Super Specialty
• Feeder specialty
• Category
• Institute
• Number of seats
• Candidate preferences
• Seat matrix
• Counselling round
• Eligibility conditions

Qualifying Cutoff vs Admission Cutoff

A candidate qualifying NEET SS does not automatically receive admission to a particular Super Specialty. Seat allocation depends on the applicable counselling process and available seats.
