The fuss has started among all the medical aspirants, right?
With each passing day, the date of the exam results is coming near. The NEET exam is one of the most competitive exams taken in India, as it helps in allotting great medical colleges to the future medicos.
Many websites have launched answer keys to rank decorators that help in finding out the estimated marks and ranks as per the historical data. Almost every aspirant has used it, and back in their minds, they know how much they will score. Many of the candidates have started taking counselling to get admission to MBBS abroad. Even medical universities abroad have criteria, which include passing the NEET exam. Any university does not fix the NEET marks required for MBBS abroad; they mainly focus on passing the NEET with a respectable score.
To pursue an MBBS program abroad, Indian candidates must first pass the NEET exam. The National Testing Agency (NTA) determines the qualifying scores for NEET, which typically match the 40th percentile for the reserved categories (SC, ST, and OBC) and the 50th percentile for the general category.
Moreover, every year, NTA releases a cut-off dividing on the basis of the caste system. Those cut-offs help in knowing the NEET marks required for MBBS abroad.
Every university has its own set of requirements when it comes to the minimum marks required in the NEET for MBBS abroad. Although, before applying to any university, candidates must check everything carefully. This year, the NEET 2024 exam results will be declared on Friday, June 14, 2024.
We at Tajhind suggest students target at least 140 (general category) and 110 (reserved category).
Over the years, we have observed one thing: while applying for MBBS abroad, especially in Tajikistan, the NEET score doesn’t play a very major role.
