The Bachelor of Occupational Therapy is one of the most sought-after undergraduate courses in the medical stream. In India, admission to this program generally requires candidates to qualify for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET UG);

NEET-UG Qualifying Marks for General Category (2024):

Qualifying Percentile: 50th percentile
Score Range: 720-162
Admission to BOT Programs:

Unlike NEET-UG, which is mostly conducted for MBBS and BDS admission, most institutions are also considering cut-offs for allied health sciences, BOT, among others. Cutoffs for BOT at various different institutions cut through a wide range, mainly because of a number of applicants, seats, and preferences of the institution.

Institutional Cut-off

For instance, in Seth G.S. Medical College, Mumbai, NEET PG Round 1 cut-off ranks 2024 ranged between 34 and 28,631 for the students under General AI quota. In this case; one could observe that cut-off ranks were not uniform and would depend upon the course and category.

Recommendations to Prospective Candidates:

Research individual institutions: Since cutoff marks vary check the specific admission criteria and previous years cutoff trends of the institutions you are interested in.

Prepare for NEET-UG: Achieving a score well above the minimum qualifying marks can enhance your chances of securing admission to a reputable BOT program.

Thus, though the qualifying marks for the General category under NEET-UG in 2024 range between 720 and 162, the cut-off varies according to institutions offering BOT courses. Candidates must obtain higher marks for better prospects and consult the colleges for the cutoff marks.
