Cut-offs for NEET-UG vary by category and depend on several factors, such as the total number of candidates, the number of available seats, and candidate performance on the day of the exam. To remain competitive for government medical college seats, a score of over 700 is typically required for the General category, whereas the cut-off is significantly lower for reserved categories.

Here is the Probable cut-off (Safe Score) by Coaching Institutes.
