Experts suggest that general category students will need to score at least 650+ marks in NEET UG 2025 to secure admission to a government medical college for MBBS. For reserved category students, it is challenging to gain admission to government colleges with less than 600 marks. To get into the top medical colleges in the country, a score above 700 marks will be necessary. As a result, over 10 lakh students who qualify NEET UG have private medical colleges as their only option.
