Many candidates found “Percentile” a confusing term!!
The term “Percentile” refers to the value in which the percentage of a candidate falls and it is set for all the candidates appearing in the entrance exam. The candidates who are appearing in the entrance exam must score their marks according to the set percentile.
For example: The candidates who will score 50th percentile are the set score below which some candidates appearing in the exam has scored. Likewise the list is mentioned below according to the categories.
Candidates who are appearing in the exam and have expected that they will score more than the NEET Cut Off percentile requirement will only be declared as qualified candidates. The CBSE will provide AIR (All India Rank) to all the candidates who have appeared for the entrance exam. As the applicants must note that the counseling authorities will release the respective merit lists to hold some admissions to MBBS/BDS courses.
Important Note: The Candidates must know that the cut off will be different for different categories.
The applicants who belong to unreserved category have to score equal to or more than 50th percentile. And the percentile for the candidates who belongs to reserved category such as SC/ST/PWD then they have to score 40th percentile to qualify in the entrance exam. And the cut offs will be declare along with the NEET result 2018.
- Unreserved (UR)- 50th Percentile
- UR-PH (Unreserved Physically Handicapped) – 45th percentile
- SC (Schedule Caste) – 40th Percentile
- ST (Schedule Tribe) – 40th Percentile
- OBC (Other Backward Classes) – 40th Percentile
