Dec 03, 2021

The NEET marks Vs rank analysis data is very useful for students to project their ranking and examination details. This also helps get knowledge about the college applications that can be done for admissions during the counselling stage.

The ranking plays an important role in understanding the candidates’ eligibility for colleges and courses based on the NEET marks and results. Based on the ranks, the candidates can research their preferred colleges and courses. The selection of colleges becomes very easy when counselling if the pros and cons for colleges are properly researched beforehand.

The provisional answer keys are released on the official website for the NEET examination. The candidates can analyse their results based on these answer keys. Accordingly, the NEET Marks Vs Rank analysis is also possible based on the previous year’s data.

How to calculate Marks Vs Ranks

It is very simple to calculate the candidates’ marks once the provisional answer keys are released. The candidates can refer to the answer keys published on the official website for the NEET exam. The method to calculate or predict the marks is mentioned below:

4 marks can be added for every correct answer.
1 mark is deducted for every incorrect answer.
Summing up the results of the positive and negative marks into the total score for the exam.
There is no negative marking if the question is not attempted.
When more than one option is selected, then the question is marked as non-attempted.
Every question carries 4 marks.

NEET Tiebreaker criteria

There are hundreds of students who may secure the same marks. But it is not possible to allot the same institute, college, or course. To resolve this issue, the NTA has launched the tie-breaker criteria. According to these criteria, the candidates are ranked differently even if their marks secured are the same.

Under the tie-breaker criteria, the ranks are calculated as follows:

A higher rank is given to the candidate who secured higher marks in Biology.
When the marks secured in Biology are the same, the candidate securing higher marks in chemistry is ranked higher.
However, if the marks in chemistry are also the same, then the candidate who has lesser incorrect answers are ranked higher.

There were also age criteria, where if all the above criteria failed, then the candidate with higher age would be ranked higher. However, this criterion is subsequently removed.

NEET cut off analysis

Apart from NEET Marks Vs Rank Analysis, the cut-off analysis is also another important aspect for ranking. The study of cut-off trends of previous years also helps understand if the candidate would be eligible for the preferred course or college.

The cut off for the previous years is tabulated below:

Candidate category	Cut Off 2020	Cut Off 2021
OBC, ST, SC – PwD	113 – 128	108 -121
ST/ SC/ OBC	113 -146	108 – 137
General – PwD	129 – 146	122 – 137
General – EWS	147 – 720	138 – 720

Final Words

NEET is the only entrance exam for taking admissions in medical colleges. The aspiring candidates are always keen to know if they would secure their place in their desired college and preferred course. Studying the previous year’s trends for NEET marks Vs ranks would always be helpful for such candidates.
