Factors behind the NEET 2025 registrations drop

The NEET 2025 total registration has seen a drop of over 1 lakh candidates. Some of the reasons behind this NEET 2025 registrations drop are as follows -

1. Limited number of seats

While the competition level of the NEET UG exam has increased with the increasing number of applicants, the total seats under the NEET UG exam has not increased to that extent. This limited number of seats has reduced the interest of students from the NEET UG exam and they are now looking for alternative career options.

2. No extension of NEET registration window

With no NEET registration window extension, many students who couldn’t register for the exam before the last date of NEET 2025 registration, couldn’t fill their NEET application form . The NEET 2025 registration last date was March 7. NTA generally extends the registration window of the NEET exam allowing more candidates to register. However, this year with no extension in the registration window, there has been a decline in total NEET 2025 registration.

Questions related to NEET

Have a question related to NEET ?

No, NEET is not required for admission to the BPT (Bachelor of Physiotherapy) course at PGIMS Rohtak.

Admission Process:

Admission is through a Common Entrance Test (CET) conducted by the university itself.

10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English is mandatory.

Minimum marks: 45% (General) and 40% (SC/ST/OBC).

Other Details:

Course Duration: 4 years

Seats Available: Around 30

Fees: Approximately 12,000–15,000 per year

The eligibility varies based on the category. General category candidates need a minimum of 50%, while SC/ST/OBC/Reserved-PWD candidates require a minimum of 40%. General-PWD candidates need at least 45%. .

If your class 12th percentage meets the minimum eligibility criteria required for your category, then you are eligible for NEET and can pursue MBBS if you clear the cutoff for the exam.

Hi aspirant,

To pursue a B.Sc. in Nursing at IGIMS, you do not need a NEET score; instead, you must prepare for the CET. For the BPT program, it is recommended to score above 400 marks to stay competitive. The NEET UG exam is proposed to be conducted by May 4, 2025.

As per NEET 2024 Dress Code (for females):


Light-colored clothes with half sleeves are allowed.

Skirts are allowed, but only knee-length or below.

Avoid metallic elements, big buttons, brooches, etc.

No high heels or fancy footwear — wear slippers or low-heel sandals.

The admission process and cutoff scores for the Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) course in 2025 are distinct from those of MBBS and BDS, for which NEET is the primary entrance exam. While some BPT colleges might consider NEET scores, it is generally not the mandatory entrance examination for all BPT admissions across India.

The admission criteria for BPT courses typically involve your marks in the Class 12th board examinations, with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as the main subjects. Many colleges admit students based on merit, considering the aggregate marks obtained in these subjects. A minimum aggregate score of 50% in PCB is a common eligibility criterion, although this can vary slightly between institutions. Some colleges might offer a relaxation of 5% for reserved categories like OBC, SC, and ST.


However, it's important to note that some universities and states do conduct their own entrance examinations for BPT admissions. Additionally, a few private colleges might consider NEET scores as part of their admission process, although it's usually not the sole criterion. State-level entrance exams might also be relevant for admissions to BPT colleges within a particular state. For example, in Maharashtra, the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MHT CET) has been used for BPT admissions.

Therefore, to ascertain the specific cutoff for a BPT course in 2025, you need to identify the particular colleges you are interested in. Then, you should check their individual admission criteria, which will be available on their official websites or admission brochures. These sources will provide the most accurate information regarding whether they consider NEET scores, conduct their own entrance tests, or admit students based solely on their Class 12th marks and the required cutoff percentages. Keep an eye on the admission notifications of your preferred colleges for the most up-to-date details.
