Cutoff Trends in Response to Difficult NEET Exams

Cutoff Trends in Response to Difficult NEET Exams

Lower Overall Scores:

A difficult paper leads to fewer students scoring high marks.

Even top-performing students may see reduced scores compared to previous years.

Drop in Cutoffs:

Since cutoffs are relative (based on performance of all test-takers), a tougher paper usually means cutoffs decrease.

For example, if the paper is unusually difficult, the general category cutoff might drop from 720–138 (in a typical year) to something like 710–130.

More Emphasis on Percentile:

NEET uses percentile-based ranking for eligibility (especially for 15% AIQ and state quotas).

This ensures that selection remains fair even if the absolute scores are lower.

College Admission Ranks Shift:

With lower scores across the board, students may get higher ranks at lower marks than in an easier year.

For example, in a tough year, 600 marks might land a candidate in the top 10,000 instead of 20,000.

Counselling Dynamics:

Students and counselors must be adaptive during the counselling process, as cutoff predictions from previous years may no longer hold true.
