How the NEET rank predictor works
NEET ranks depend on two things: your marks, and how everyone else did. In 2025 the paper was tough: the topper scored 686 and the General cutoff fell to 144. In 2026 the paper was easier: two students scored 715 and the General cutoff rose to 213. The same 550 marks meant a very different rank in each year.
We built the curve from NEET 2025 results (22,09,318 students appeared) and stretched it to match 2026 (19,99,895 appeared). Choose the paper difficulty that matches your exam, or leave it on average.

Qualifying cutoff by category
NEET's cutoff isn't fixed marks. It's a percentile of everyone who appeared: 50th for General and EWS, 40th for OBC, SC and ST, 45th for UR-PwD. So the marks needed rise in easy years and fall in tough ones.
| Category | Percentile | Marks, average year |
|---|---|---|
| General (UR) | 50th | ~180 |
| EWS | 50th | ~180 |
| OBC-NCL | 40th | ~159 |
| SC | 40th | ~159 |
| ST | 40th | ~159 |
| UR-PwD | 45th | ~169 |
| OBC/SC/ST-PwD | 40th | ~159 |
Actual cutoffs: 2025 General 144, 2026 General 213.
