NEET 2020 results, ranks, and classification cutoff points will be released soon by the National Testing Agency, NTA. The results, once announced, will be available at ntaneet.nic.in. Based on various media reports and expert analysis, the 2020 NEET cap is expected to be higher this year. Take a look at the expected NEET 2020 limits as well as the NEET ranges versus the marks shared by the experts for NEET 2020 explained below.
NEET 2020 Planned Cut
| Category | NEET 2020 Planned Cut | NEET 2019 CUt off |
| UR (50th percentile) | 710 – 140 | 701 – 134 |
| SC / ST / OBC (40th percentile) | 120 – 100 | 133 – 107 |
| UR -PH (45th percentile) | 125 – 97 | 133 – 120 |
| SC / ST / OBC (40th percentile) | 110 – 100 | 119 – 107 |
To begin with, let’s understand what we mean by cutting. Simply put, it is the grades earned by the candidates that qualified them for NEET. Please note that students in the non-reserved category must achieve a 50th percentile score or higher to qualify for the exam. The qualification score for the SC, ST, and OBC categories is set at the 40th percentile. The qualification limit for unreserved PH is set at the 45th percentile.

The cutoff shared by most experts suggests the minimum marks that students would score on the exam. This, however, is not related to the chances of obtaining admission to an MBBS or BDS seat. In addition, the cut also depends (since it is based on percentiles) on the number of candidates who have taken the exams and also on the level of difficulty.
On the contrary, the easier the paper, the larger the cut. This is simply because more students would have scored higher. Also, in terms of the number of students, the higher the number of students, the higher the percentile marks, since the cutoff point means an intermediate mark for a greater number of students. After considering, experts have suggested that the 2020 limit for the NEET exam would be slightly higher than the 2019 limit.

There are two very important reasons why you shouldn’t worry too much. The first is that the range of cut notes is not expected to change much. What this means is that there would not be much change in the grades obtained and the respective ranks. This is what truly determines which university you should enter.
The other important aspect is that this year, admissions to AIIMS and JIPMER would also be based on the NEET 2020 exam. There are no separate AIIMS MBBS or JIPMER MBBS exams. With the first INIs joining the ranks, the number of vacancies for All India Quota has also increased, giving students a better chance to choose the best university. As such, even if there is some increase in the number of brands and ranges, you are likely to be part of the increase. So all the best for your 2020 NEET results.
