    Factors affecting NEET 2025 passing marks out of 720

    Several factors determine the passing marks for NEET 2025, which are described below.

    1. NEET exam difficulty level

    The difficulty of the NEET 2025 question paper significantly impacts the passing marks. A tougher exam, as reported for 2025, tends to lower the passing marks, as fewer candidates are expected to achieve high scores.

    2. Number of candidates

    NEET 2025 has seen a slight decrease in the total number of candidates in NEET 2025, which could reduce competition and lower the cutoff. In 2024, over 24 lakh candidates appeared, contributing to a higher NEET cutoff.

    3. Candidate performance

    The overall performance of candidates affects the percentile-based passing marks. If fewer candidates score high marks, the qualifying marks decrease. Experts suggest that the highest score in NEET 2025 may not reach 720 due to the exam’s difficulty.

    4. Seat availability

    With approximately 1,17,950 MBBS seats and 27,868 BDS seats available, the number of seats influences competition. An increase in total NEET UG seats for 2025 may slightly lower the passing marks.

    5. Category reservations

    Reserved categories (OBC, SC, ST, PWD) have lower qualifying percentiles, resulting in lower passing marks compared to the General category.
