The NEET exam is the gateway for MBBS and BDS admission in Bihar. Understanding the NEET 2025 cut off is crucial for aspirants targeting both government and private medical colleges in Bihar.
This comprehensive guide covers expected cut off scores, eligibility criteria, previous year trends, government vs. private quota differences, and how the counselling process affects final selection.
Bihar NEET 2025 Cut Off: What Is It and Why It Matters?
The NEET 2025 cut off for Bihar represents the minimum score required for admission into MBBS or BDS courses in state colleges. The cut off is published separately for the 85% State Quota (for Bihar-domiciled candidates) and the 15% All India Quota (AIQ). Cut off marks depend on candidate category—General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, and others.
NEET 2025 Admission Eligibility & Qualifying Scores
| Category | Qualifying Cut Off Percentile | Expected 2025 Score Range |
|---|---|---|
| General (UR/EWS) | 50th Percentile | 720–162 |

| SC/ST | 40th Percentile | 161–127 |
| General-PwD | 45th Percentile | 161–144 |
Eligibility for Bihar quota also requires state domicile or permanent parental residence in Bihar. MBBS/BDS aspirants must qualify NEET with the specified percentile and marks.
Bihar Government Medical Colleges – 2025 Expected Cut Off

The above scores are expected and may vary depending on seat matrix, competition, and paper difficulty. Final cut offs will be released by BCECEB after NEET results.
Bihar Private Medical Colleges – Expected Cut Off (2025)
| College | Category | Estimated Closing Score | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Katihar Medical College, Katihar | General | 450–470 | State Quota |
| Mata Gujri Memorial Medical College, Kishanganj | OBC | 440–460 | State Quota |
Private colleges have lower cut off but higher fees. Availability for all categories may be limited and determined in late rounds of counselling.
AIQ vs State Quota Cut Off: Bihar NEET 2025
| Quota | Category | Expected 2025 Cut Off (Marks) |
|---|---|---|
| All India Quota (15%) | General | 640–655 |
| State Quota (85%) | General | 620–630 |
| All India Quota (15%) | OBC/SC/ST | 580–600 |
| State Quota (85%) | OBC/SC/ST | 500–620 |
For top government colleges, AIQ cut offs are usually higher due to nationwide competition. State quota offers more scope for Bihar domiciles.
Previous Year Cut Off Trend (2023, 2024 Support)
| Year | General (Govt. College) | OBC | SC | ST |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 617 | 613 | 510 | 484 |

*Estimates based on rising trend and seat competition.
Impact of Counselling & Seat Allotment
Bihar NEET state counselling and seat allotment, managed by the official authority, dramatically impacts the final cut off. Rounds of counselling and candidate choices lead to shifting closing scores for each round—hence, staying engaged throughout the procedure is essential.
