The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has announced a significant reduction in the eligibility percentiles for NEET PG Counseling 2024. This decision, taken in consultation with the National Medical Commission (NMC) and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), aims to expand the pool of eligible candidates for postgraduate medical courses.

Updated Qualifying Cutoff

The revised eligibility percentiles for participation in NEET PG counselling 2024 are as follows:

Category Revised Percentile
General/EWS 15 percentile
SC/ST/OBC/PwD 10 percentile
