NEET UG is a single pen-and-paper (OMR) test of 200 questions (180 to be answered) across Physics, Chemistry and Biology (Botany + Zoology). Each correct answer earns +4 and each wrong one −1, for a maximum of 720 over 3 hours 20 minutes. There is a single national merit list and percentile-based qualification (50th percentile for General, 40th for SC/ST/OBC).
In NEET, your All India Rank is decided by your marks relative to everyone else, so the marks needed for a given rank move every year with paper difficulty. At the top of the scale a few extra marks can be worth thousands of ranks, while lower down the curve flattens. Use the year-wise tables below to compare your target marks against the closest matching cycle rather than a single fixed chart.
Here is the year-wise NEET trend so you can compare your target against the closest recent cycle. NEET UG has used the 720-max pattern (180×4) across all years shown; it replaced AIPMT from 2017. 2024 was a severe outlier — an easy paper plus grace marks produced an initial 67 perfect scores (later revised to 17) and ~2,250 candidates in 700–720, compressing top ranks and pushing 550–650 scorers thousands of ranks lower than prior years. Score-to-rank loosens each year as registrations grew from ~11 lakh (2017) to ~24 lakh (2024).

Why were 2024 ranks so anomalous at the top?
NEET 2024 had an unprecedented 67 candidates scoring a perfect 720 and over 2,300 scoring 700+, driven by an easy paper, record volume and a grace-marks controversy. So 715 fetched only AIR ~48 and 700 fell to ~2,250 — treat 2024 top-end marks-vs-rank as an outlier. The calculator above uses a more representative curve.
How many marks for a government MBBS seat?
For an unreserved AIQ government MBBS seat you generally need roughly 620–650+ (AIR under ~15,000–20,000). Top central colleges (AIIMS Delhi, MAMC, VMMC) close under AIR ~150.
Is there negative marking?
Yes. +4 for correct, −1 for wrong, 0 for unattempted — so blind guessing is penalised. Maximum is 720 over 180 attempted questions.
Does NEET use normalization across days?
No. NEET is single-shift and single-paper, so there is no inter-session normalization. Raw marks directly determine the All India Rank.
What is the qualifying percentile and cutoff?
General must reach the 50th percentile (720–162 in 2024); SC/ST/OBC-NCL need the 40th (161–127). Qualifying only makes you eligible for counselling, not a guaranteed seat.
AIQ 15% vs state quota — what rank do I need?
The 15% All India Quota is filled by MCC strictly on AIR (most competitive). The 85% state quota uses your AIR within your domicile state and is usually less competitive.
Can a 600 score get a good government college?
In a normal year ~600 marks meant roughly AIR 15,000–25,000 — enough for many state government colleges but not top central ones.
