Factors Affecting the NEET 2025 Cutoff for BDS Courses

Certain factors determine the NEET cutoff 2025 for BDS courses stated below. Some of these factors that determine the NEET cutoff 2025 for BDS courses are mentioned below.

  • Total Number of Examinees: One of the most important factors that determines the NEET 2025 cutoff for BDS courses is the number of examinees that are appearing for that particular year. Sometimes, the number of examinees is less or vice versa in comparison to the number of registrations.
  • NEET Seat Matrix: Another important factor that determines the cutoff for a particular year is the medical college's seat matrix. The NEET cutoff is inversely proportional to the number of seats available for various categories in the NEET counselling process. In some years, there are more examinees in comparison to the seats available for admission in a particular medical college.
  • Exam Difficulty Level: Another important factor for NEET 2025 is the exam difficulty level for a particular year. Every year NTA authorities create the NEET question paper and the difficulty level varies for every year. The difficulty level for some years may be easy but for some years it may be difficult. The NEET exam paper difficulty level is determined by the feedback that students give after appearing in the examination.
  • Level of Competition: NEET 2025 cutoff is also determined by the cutoff competition for a particular year. Recently, it has been observed that the number of applicants has increased for the NEET exam. There has been a sudden rise in the number of NEET applicants every year, but the number of seats in medical colleges is almost unchanged. This creates more competition among student, due to which NTA has made NEET exam papers quite difficult in recent years.
