The Health Ministry has directed the National Medical Commission (NMC) to reduce the cut-off for qualifying percentile for National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET)-Post Graduate (PG) 2023 to “zero” across all categories on Wednesday. The move comes as a major relief to postgraduate medical student aspirants this year and makes medical aspirants who have become eligible after reduction of percentile to edit their choices also.
Currently, the NEET PG Cut-Off percentile is 50 for students from general/unreserved categories, 45 for PwD and 40 for students of other reserved categories.
The Health Ministry in its letter said that the recommendation for reduction in qualifying percentile for postgraduate courses for 2023 (NEET PG 2023) has been considered and the approval of competent authority is hereby conveyed for reduction of qualifying percentile for NEET PG 2023 to ‘Zero’ across all categories.’’
