It's important for candidates to understand the scope of this revision. While the qualifying percentile has changed, NBEMS has clarified that certain aspects of the NEET SS 2025 result remain unaltered:

• Your original ranks and individual marks obtained in the examination will remain exactly as they were.
• The revision solely expands the pool of eligible candidates by lowering the minimum qualifying threshold.

This means if you were already qualified, your status remains, and if you now meet the 30th percentile, you are newly qualified.

The decision to reduce the NEET SS 2025 cutoff percentile stems from a Supreme Court order dated September 17, 2026. This was followed by a letter from the Ministry of Health, dated September 22, 2026, directing NBEMS to implement the revised qualifying criteria. This move aims to ensure a broader pool of eligible candidates for super specialty courses across the country.

All candidates who appeared for NEET SS 2025 are advised to visit the official NBEMS website to check their updated qualifying status. The revised cutoff notice and related information are available under the 'Latest Updates' section on natboard.edu.in. Look for the specific notification regarding the NEET SS 2025 revised cutoff.

With the revised cutoffs now in effect, newly qualified candidates, along with those already eligible, must stay vigilant for the upcoming NEET SS 2025 counselling schedule. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) will soon release details regarding registration, choice filling, and seat allotment for super specialty admissions.
