Factors Affecting MP NEET PG Cutoff 2026
Several factors decide the MP NEET PG Cutoff 2026:
- Number of applicants: More competition pushes closing ranks up or down.
- Exam difficulty: The difficulty of the paper affects scores and ranks.
- Seat availability: The number of MD/MS seats on offer influences the cutoff.

- College preferences: Fees, bond rules, and stipends shape which colleges candidates choose.
- Counselling rounds: Seat upgrades and vacancies can shift closing ranks.
How to Calculate NEET PG Cutoff 2026
The qualifying cutoff is based on percentile, not on a percentage of the total marks.
Step 1: Know the exam pattern. NEET PG 2026 has 180 questions carrying 720 marks.
Step 2: Know the qualifying percentile.
| Category | Required Percentile |
|---|---|
| General / EWS | 50th |
| General PwBD | 45th |
| SC / ST / OBC | 40th |
Step 3: Understand how percentile works. Your percentile shows the share of candidates who scored at or below you. The formula is:
Percentile = (Total candidates − Your rank) ÷ Total candidates × 100
For example, say 2,00,000 candidates appear (an imaginary number, used only to explain). The candidate at rank 1,00,000 sits at the 50th percentile, and that candidate’s marks become the General cutoff.
Step 4: Remember that rank comes from raw marks. Your All India Rank depends on the marks you score. Percentile is used only to check whether you qualify.
Step 5: Compare previous-year trends. The official cutoff changes every year, depending on competition and how hard the exam was.
Previous Year NEET PG Cutoff Trends
| Year | General / EWS | SC / ST / OBC | General PwBD | Total Marks |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 2025 | 276 (50th percentile) | 235 (40th percentile) | 255 (45th percentile) | 800 |
| 2024 | 50th percentile | 40th percentile | 45th percentile | 800 |
| 2023 | 291 (50th percentile) | 257 (40th percentile) | 274 (45th percentile) | 800 |
| 2022 | 275 (50th percentile) | 245 (40th percentile) | 260 (45th percentile) | 800 |
