NEW DELHI: The cutoff score to qualify for getting admission to a medical college has dropped to its lowest levels ever at 16% (117 out of 720) for open category and 13% (93 out of 720) for the reserved categories. This corresponds to the 50th and 40th percentile cutoff for the open and reserved categories, respectively.
The cutoff scores have generally hovered around the 130s to 140s for general category and about 105 to 120 for the reserved categories in most years since the National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET) was introduced in 2016, 2018-19 being an exception (see graphic).
