I am OBC with 225 Marks in PG Neet..Is posiibility to revise cuoff?

Karishma Sawhney 25th Jan, 2022

Hello,

The NEET PG cut off for the academic year 2021 is as follows-

GENERAL-302

SC/ST/OBC- 265

GENERAL PWD- 283

As you belong to the OBC category and have scored below the cut off range, you haven't qualified for the exam and hence, will not be eligible to participate in the counseling procedure, be it All India Counseling or State counseling. Also, no, the cut off does not get revised once it has been released.

Hope it helps!

my rank is 32k any chance of anesthesia b cat

Sridhi Student Expert 25th Jan, 2022

Hi aspirant,

Your profile suggests that you belong to Telangana domicile. You have not mentioned your Caste Category, so I'm considering it as General Category and providing information based on it.

It is difficult to predict because cut-offs c hanges from year to year and depends on many factors like

>>>Difficulty level of NEET PG exam

>>>Number of seats available

>>>Number of students appeared in NEET PG exam

>>>Category of the student

To check the possibility of getting Anesthesia seat you can use College Predictor Tool which is given below.

You can go through below mentioned article related to NEET PG cut-offs.

My Neet pg rank 55746 SC category can I get General surgery or Orthopedics in A category in Andhrapradesh

Moumoyee Chakraborty 25th Jan, 2022

Dear applicant with 55746 rank it is somewhat difficult for you to secure a seat in General surgery. But considering the past few years cut-off trends, it is just an assumption that for SC category Students within 55000 rank, there are still possibilities to get General Surgery. Hope you would also get a seat in Medical Colleges like JSS Medical College or some other private colleges as well. Use our NEET PG college predictor to predict the best colleges based on your merit rank
