NEET PG 2025 Branch-Wise Cut Off: NEET PG 2025 is the exam for MBBS graduates to enter PG courses like MD, MS, and PG Diploma. The NEET PG 2025 branch-wise cut-off tells how many marks or rank is needed for each medical branch. Cut-offs differ by branch, category (UR/OBC/SC/ST), and college type (Govt./Private). They change every year based on exam difficulty, seat availability, and reservation. Clinical branches like Radiology and Medicine have higher cut-offs than non-clinical ones. To get a good seat, candidates must score above the expected cut-off and plan wisely.
