NEET stands for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, known previously as the All India Pre-Medical Test. It is a test for undergraduate students seeking admission to undergraduate medical, dental, and AYUSH programs in both government and private institutions in India. NEET UG 2025 is also meant for those who want to receive primary medical qualifications outside India. Thus for all MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BUMS and BHMS aspirants, NEET is mandatory.
NEET UG is conducted by National Testing Agency (commonly known as NTA). The seat allocation is done officially through the procedure determined by the government bodies meant for this purpose, such as the Directorate General of Health Services, which functions under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and State Counselling Authorities.

The aspirants can know their NEET UG Result 2025 by checking the website as per the steps described here:
To crack the NEET UG exam, at least 50 percentile is required. There are two methods to calculate the NEET percentile.
Compare the raw score to the top NEET raw score. The formula for NEET exam percentile calculation based on marks is:
Score Percentile = [Your NEET Score/Topper’s NEET Score]*100
Use your estimated NEET rank and the total number of qualifying NEET candidates. The formula for NEET exam percentile calculation by rank is-
Rank Percentile = [(Number of Qualifying Candidates-Candidate’s Personal NEET rank)/Total Number of Appeared Candidates
If two or more candidates secure equal marks/percentile scores in NEET 2025, then the final merit may depend on the following as per last year’s trends:
If there is still a tie, which is highly unlikely, then both candidates are given the same NEET UG rank.
There are two counsellings, namely All India Quota Counselling and State Quota Counselling.
After the NEET 2025 results are announced, the Medical Counselling Committee and different state counselling authorities will publish category-wise NEET cut-offs for the candidates to get admission. This will include the minimum score that a candidate needs in the examination and the last rank required for MBBS and BDS admissions.
The NEET 2025 merit list gets published after the results are announced. Based on the scores and ranks obtained by the aspirants, they are shortlisted. Those who qualify as per the NEET 2024 cut-off, will become eligible for the counselling round.
The NEET UG 2025 Merit List will be released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) after the exam and the declaration of results. It will include the ranks of candidates based on their performance and will serve as a key reference for admission to MBBS, BDS, and other undergraduate medical courses across India.
