- Performance of the candidates.
- The number of seats available.
- NEET cut-off marks for previous years.
- The NEET qualifying marks for 2023 are probably going to increase due to the increased number of test takers and the increase in MBBS/BDS seats. Candidates must therefore prepare for more intense competition.
