Every year, the cutoff marks for the NEET PG are declared by the NBE. This is normally done after the exam has been conducted. The cut-off marks are the lowest marks needed to qualify for the exam. These marks decide the colleges and the branch.
For the 2025 exam, the NBE has announced the cut-off percentile for each category.
| Category | Cut-Off Percentile |
| General | 50th percentile |

| Other Backward Caste - NCL | 40th Percentile |
| Scheduled Castes (SC) | |
| Scheduled Tribes (ST) | |
| UR (PwD) | 45th percentile |
As per the previous few years’ results, these percentiles would roughly correspond to:
