NEET UG 2022: The qualifying scores for the general category this year also saw a marginal decline, going from 720 – 138 marks in 2021 to 715-117. (Representative image)Candidates scored fewer marks in this year’s National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, the exam for getting admission into medical colleges. The Indian Express has reviewed the score range data since 2017, when NEET-UG was introduced.
(see box).
The NEET-UG score range required to be in the 40th percentile — which happens to be the cut-off percentile for reserved category candidates — is at an all-time low this year.
This year, the score range to be in the counselling qualification percentile for candidates from the Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and OBC (non-creamy layer) categories is 116-93. This is a sharp decline from last year’s score range, which was at 137-108. This is also lower than the previous all-time low in 2018 (118-97).
At the same time, the score range to reach the cut-off percentile for general category candidates also declined — from 720-138 in 2021 to 715-117 this year. The decline, however, is not as marked.
