![]() ![]() TOI found that in 2016, general category students with just 148 marks, or 20.6%, in NEET were admitted to a private college in Uttar Pradesh which is a deemed university. The percentile system not only made low-scoring students eligible to study medicine, it actually got them seats in colleges. Thus, 50th percentile means students with more marks than the bottom half, 90th percentile comprises students with more marks than the bottom 90%, and so on. Percentile measures the proportion of candidates, not scores. This year’s NEET exams, to be held next month, continue with the same percentile cut-offs, so students with less than 20% marks in the entrance exam may be admitted to MBBS courses again. In 2017, this fell further to 131 marks (18.3%) for the general category, and 107 marks (14.8%) for the reserved seats. The reserved categories needed to be in the 40th percentile, which translated to 118 out of 720, or 16.3% marks.
