Candidates must understand that a percentile score is different from a percentage score. The percentage is a direct calculation of how many marks a candidate got out of the total NEET marks. However, percentile refers to a candidate’s relative position to other candidates. For instance, if a candidate has scored in the 85th percentile, this means that the candidate has scored better than 85% of the aspirants who appeared for the NEET UG exam. Therefore, the NEET percentile of a candidate depends on the marks as well as the overall performance of all the appeared candidates in NEET 2025.
The table below provides the expected NEET 2025 marks vs rank vs percentile. Candidates can refer to this range to know 85 percentile in NEET means how many marks in MBBS.

The expected NEET 2025 marks vs rank vs percentile by Aakash can be checked from the table below.
NEET 2025 marks range | NEET 2025 expected rank range | NEET 2025 estimated percentile |

To calculate the estimated percentile for NEET 2025, candidates need to first calculate their expected scores. Students can calculate their score using the NEET answer key 2025. Once the NEET score is known, candidates are required to use the below given formula to calculate their NEET percentile.
Percentile = [(Total appeared candidates – Rank) / Total appeared candidates] x 100
NEET marks, rank and percentile all determine the overall NEET result. NEET marks refer to the actual scores a candidate secures out of the total marks. NEET rank refers to the candidate's All India Rank among all the candidates who appeared for the NEET exam. The NEET percentile tells how a candidate performed relative to other candidates. The higher the score, the better the rank, and ultimately the higher the NEET percentile.
Candidates must note that:
NEET marks are determined by how a candidate performs in the NEET exam.
NEET percentile is influenced by an aspirant's score relative to others, NEET difficulty level and the number of candidates appeared for the exam.
A good NEET result depends not just on the candidate’s score but how that score compares to the rest of the country.
