More than 16 lakh candidates have attempted the NEET exam 2021 conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). To check the results students must visit the official website of NTA, i.e. www.neet.nta.nic.in. After accessing the site, students are asked to log in by entering roll number and date of birth. A scorecard with All India Rank scored marks, and percentile score then appears on the screen. Also, marks corresponding to the cut-off percentile are also announced with the NEET result.
Once the student gets his/her scorecard, starts the race for admissions. In 2020 cut off for the unreserved or the general category students was 720-147. For OBC students cut off was 146-113, while 146-113 for SC/ST’s, 146-129 for UR/EWS- PH, and 128-113 for OBC/SC/ST – PH.
NTA prepares an all India merit list on the basis of cut-off and marks secured by the candidates in the NEET exam. Students who score more than the cut-off are eligible for 15 per cent of all India quota counselling. All India Quota is to be filled based on NEET 2021 rank and as per the statutory regulation of MCI/NMC/DCI. For the admission to the remaining 85 per cent of seats, states are supposed to conduct individual counselling. This year NTA conducted the NEET UG Exam on September 12, 2021, across 202 cities at 3858 centres across India and abroad.
Now, the question is, how marks will be enough to secure a seat in top Medical Colleges? Experts say it is a tricky question. It depends on the merit and quota mathematics. As per norms, students from the general or unreserved category needs a 50 cut-off percentile. It means, 360 or above marks out of 720 are required in order to get admission to MBBS in a government medical college. But, this is only a criterion. In 2020 students who failed to get 580 marks missed the chance.
“We have students who scored 578 and 577 but they didn’t get a seat in government medical college”, says Tanvir Ahmed, coordinator for NEET course at Delhi based coaching institute, The Hind Guru Academy. “Students make silly mistakes and miss their chance”, he adds.
