The Directorate General of Health Services has decided to reduce the cut-off for the NEET PG 2021 by 15 per cent. This means that instead of 50 percentile marks, now students need to obtain 35 percentile marks to clear the postgraduate medical entrance exam. In a letter, the DG Heath Services has asked the National Board of Examinations (NBE) to declare revised results.
As per the relaxation offered, students from unreserved category need to secure 35 percentile marks while those who are from PH category need 30 percentile, and for SC, ST, and OBC category students the marks needed are 25 percentile.
“After due discussion and deliberations, it has been decided by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in consultation with NMC with prior approval from the ministry to reduce the cut-off by 15 percentile across all categories,” said DG Heath Services.
The revised dates for the result are yet to be out.
Meanwhile, the National Medical Commission has also removed the upper age limit for those appearing in NEET-Under Graduate 2022 exam. The upper age cap put by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in 2017 was 25 years for unreserved candidates and 30 years for reserved candidates.
