The NEET PG 2025 result has been officially declared by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) on August 19, 2025. This announcement has brought both relief and excitement to lakhs of aspirants across the country who appeared for the postgraduate entrance examination. The exam was successfully conducted on August 3, 2025, in a single session across various exam centres in India.

Result Announcement and Scorecards

Candidates who took the examination can now check their qualification status through the official result notice released by NBEMS. The result has been published in the form of a list displaying the roll numbers and scores of qualified candidates. However, the individual scorecards will be made available from August 29, 2025. Aspirants will be able to download them using their login credentials, and the scorecards will remain accessible for a period of six months.

Cut-off Marks for NEET PG 2025

Along with the result, the Board has also released the minimum qualifying cut-offs for different categories. This year’s cut-offs are as follows:

• General/EWS category (50th percentile): Around 275–276 marks out of 800
• General PwBD (45th percentile): 255 marks
• SC, ST, and OBC categories (40th percentile): 235 marks

These cut-offs serve as the baseline for determining eligibility for admission to postgraduate medical courses across the country. Candidates who have scored equal to or above the prescribed cut-off are considered qualified for the counselling rounds.

Counselling Process Ahead

With the results now declared, the next important step for candidates is the counselling process, which will be conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). The counselling will be held in multiple rounds for admission to MD, MS, and other postgraduate diploma programs in medical colleges across India. Both All India Quota (AIQ) seats and state quota seats will be filled on the basis of the NEET PG merit list.

The counselling schedule is expected to be released soon. Candidates are advised to keep their essential documents ready, including the NEET PG scorecard, admit card, MBBS degree certificate, internship completion certificate, and other required documents for verification during the admission process.

Importance of NEET PG Result

The NEET PG examination plays a crucial role in shaping the careers of thousands of medical graduates who aspire to pursue higher education in the field of medicine. The result not only determines eligibility but also decides the course and college a candidate will secure. With intense competition and limited seats, securing a higher rank can open doors to some of the top medical institutions in the country.

What’s Next for Candidates?

As the scorecards become available from August 29, qualified candidates should immediately download and secure a copy for future reference. The next focus should be on counselling registrations and choice filling, which will decide the seat allotment. Those who do not meet the cut-off this year can prepare for upcoming opportunities, while qualified aspirants must carefully plan their preferences for specialisations and colleges.
