There are 3 factors which will determine the NEET cutoff. These are-

  • Number of candidates appearing for the NEET.
  • Number of seats available in various institutes.
  • Difficulty level of the exam. (If the exam is tough, then the cutoff will be proportionally lower)

NEET Expected Cutoff –Β  How Percentile is Calculated?

NEET Percentile Rank = Total Candidates (appeared) βˆ’ Your NEET RankΒ 

 

Β 

Γ·Β  Total Candidates (appeared) Γ— 100

For instance, if you have secured rank β€˜100’ in NEET 2021 and the total number of candidates who have appeared for the exam are 5,00,000, then the final percentile would be:

[500000 – 100]/500000] X 100 =Β  99.98.

Your percentile would be 99.98, which means that you have scored more than 99.98% candidates who have appeared for the exam.
