NEET UG 2025 results are out, and the numbers from Gujarat show a noticeable shift this year. Around 7,000 fewer students from the state have qualified compared to last year.
In 2024, about 57,232 students from Gujarat had cleared the exam. This year, that number has dropped to 50,040, as per reports.
Cut-Offs Likely to Go Down
According to admission experts, the cut-off is expected to drop compared to last year, which could actually help more students secure a seat, especially in courses like BDS, BAMS, and BHMS. Experts say the dip in marks this year will push merit ranks lower across most medical colleges.
Last year, 16 students scored a perfect 720 in NEET UG. But in 2025, no student across the country has achieved full marks. Even top scorers this time have secured less than 699, which was the closing score at Gujarat’s top college, BJ Medical College, in 2024.
Total Seats Available in Gujarat
Here’s a quick look at the number of NEET-based seats available in the state:
MBBS – 6,958
BDS – 1,255
Ayurveda – 3,473
Homeopathy – 4,560
This makes a total of 16,246 NEET-based seats in Gujarat for various medical courses.
In addition, over 50,000 seats are available under various paramedical courses, taking the total close to 70,000 seats.
How Cut-Offs Affect Admission Chances
Cut-offs act as the minimum qualifying marks for students to get admission in different courses. When cut-offs go down, more students become eligible to apply for seats, increasing their chances of admission.
Medical admission sources say most qualifying students should be able to get a seat in at least one of the available NEET or paramedical courses.
Students Advised to Explore Other Courses Too
Admission advisors suggest that students who haven’t scored high marks in NEET this year should also consider other options. Apart from MBBS, courses like BDS, BAMS, BHMS, and even paramedical fields have good potential.
What’s Next
The admission process is expected to begin in the first week of July. Officials said the detailed schedule will be released once the data is compiled by the end of June.
Also, approval for three new medical colleges is underway. If cleared in time, this could add 300 more MBBS seats and increase capacity in AYUSH courses too.
