The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has lowered the minimum qualifying percentile of NEET PG 2024 once again to the 5th percentile for all categories.
The MCC stated that, as per the directions of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, the qualifying percentile of NEET PG 2024 has been changed to the 5th percentile for General/EWS, UR-PwBD, and SC/ST/OBC candidates (including PwBD of SC/ST/OBC). The rank and percentile scores released on August 23, 2024, however, are not changed.
The qualifying percentile was formerly reduced to 10 for SC, ST, OBC, and PwD candidates and 15 for General and EWS applicants. The cut-off was initially set at the 40th percentile for reserved categories, the 45th percentile for PwD, and the 50th percentile for unreserved categories.
There have been previous instances of NEET PG cut-offs being lowered. In 2023, the qualifying percentile was reduced to zero for each category. PwD and reserved category applicants saw a decline to the 20th percentile in 2022, while the general category cut-off was lowered from the 50th percentile to the 35th.
IMPACT ON ADMISSIONS AND COUNSELLING
More applicants will be eligible for counseling now that the qualifying percentile is at its lowest point. Competition for postgraduate medical places may increase as a result, particularly at prestigious universities.
The counseling process on the MCC website is open to qualified applicants who meet the updated cutoff. We anticipate hearing more shortly regarding counseling schedules and seat assignments.
