In a significant update for medical graduates across the country, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has officially declared the result for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) PG 2025 today. This highly anticipated announcement marks the gateway for thousands of doctors to pursue postgraduate courses such as MD, MS, and DNB in various medical institutions. The result is now available for download in PDF format on the official NBEMS websites, nbe.edu.in and natboard.edu.in.
The declaration of the NEET PG 2025 result is a pivotal moment for aspirants, as it determines their eligibility and rank for the subsequent counselling process. While the provisional result has been released, candidates are advised that their individual scorecards will be made available for download from the candidate login page starting from August 29, 2025. It is essential for all qualified candidates to download and save their scorecards, as this document will be a critical part of the document verification process during counselling.
Understanding the Cutoff Scores
The NBEMS has also released the category-wise cutoff scores for NEET PG 2025, which serve as the minimum qualifying marks required to participate in the counselling process. These cutoffs are based on the marks obtained out of a total of 800.
- General/EWS Category: The cutoff score is 276, corresponding to the 50th percentile.
- SC/ST/OBC Category: The cutoff is 235, which corresponds to the 40th percentile.
- UR-PwBD Category: The cutoff score for this category is 255.
Aspirants must note that meeting the minimum qualifying score does not guarantee admission. The final seat allotment depends on a candidate's All India Rank (AIR), their choice of college and specialization, and the seat matrix released for each counselling round.
What Comes Next: The Counselling Process
For all qualified candidates, the next major step is to participate in the NEET PG 2025 counselling. The counselling process is conducted at two levels:
- All India Quota (AIQ) Counselling: The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is responsible for counselling for 50% of the All India Quota seats in government medical colleges and 100% of the seats in deemed/central universities.
- State Quota Counselling: The remaining 50% of the seats in government colleges are reserved for state quota candidates, and the counselling for these seats is conducted by the respective state counselling authorities.
Candidates are eligible to participate in both AIQ and state quota counselling, but they can only hold one seat at a time. The counselling process typically involves multiple rounds, including Round 1, Round 2, and a Mop-up Round, with each round providing opportunities for seat allotment or upgradation.
Aspirants are advised to meticulously prepare for the counselling process by getting all their documents ready, including their NEET PG scorecard, mark sheets, internship completion certificate, and other relevant certificates. It is crucial to be well-informed about the choice filling and locking process, as it directly impacts the final seat allotment.

The NEET PG 2025 result is a culmination of years of hard work and dedication. It is a moment to celebrate achievements and prepare for the next chapter of a medical career.

Remember to prioritize your preferences and carefully consider the options available to you.
