The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has reduced the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET PG) 2024 qualifying percentile again. The NEET PG 2024 qualifying percentile has been brought down across all categories to fifth percentile.
An MCC statement issued in this regard said: “In continuation of NBEMS notice dated 06.01.2025 and pursuant to the directions of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India vide its letters No. U. 12021/05/2024-MEC dated 20th February 2025, the minimum qualifying percentile for NEET-PG 2024 have been reduced as follows..”
The minimum qualifying percentile for candidates in the General/EWS, UR-PwBD and SC/ST/OBC (including PwBD of SC/ST/OBC) is 5th percentile. However, there is no change in the NEET-PG 2024 Rank and percentile score as published on August 23, 2024, NBEMS said.
Earlier this year, the MNC had reduced the cut-off for all the categories. The general and EWS category students scoring 15 percentile and above became eligible to participate in the counselling. The revised cut-off required to become eligible for NEET PG counselling announced in January became 10 percentile and above for students belonging to SC, ST, OBC and PwD categories.
The NEET PG cut-off percentile was 50th for unreserved categories, 45th for PwD categories and 40th for reserved category students.
Last year, the NEET PG qualifying percentile was brought down to zero across all categories. The NEET PG cut-off for general category candidates was reduced from the 50th percentile to 35th in 2022. The cut-off for unreserved PwD candidates was dropped from 45th percentile to 20th percentile and for students belonging under SC, ST and OBC (including PwD of SC, ST, OBC), the cut-off was reduced to 20th percentile from 40th.
