Breaking News: Historic NEET PG 2025 Cut-Off Reduction Opens Doors for Minus-Score Aspirants

In a historic and unprecedented move, the NEET PG 2025 cut-off has been significantly reduced, allowing candidates with negative marks to secure postgraduate medical seats. Even those with scores as low as minus 40 may now be eligible to become specialist doctors, due to the large number of vacant PG medical seats this year. For SC, ST, and OBC candidates, the cut-off percentile has been set to zero, ensuring greater access to medical education. Officials have emphasized that negative marking will not prevent admission, marking a landmark shift in NEET PG policies. This measure aims to fill empty seats in government and private medical colleges while addressing the shortage of specialist doctors in India. Aspirants and experts have described this decision as “groundbreaking,” opening new opportunities for thousands of candidates who previously would have been ineligible.
