NEET UG Re-Test Expected Topper Marks, Highest Score, AIR 1 Score Explained
The NEET UG re-test expected highest marks this year are likely to remain between 686 and 720 with a percentile of over 99 per cent, considering the 2024 and 2025 results. In 2024, 17 candidates had secured a perfect score of 720, while in 2025, the scores for the top 10 rank holders were recorded between 675 and 686 marks out of 720.
Why No One Scored Over 700 In NEET UG 2025 While 17 Students Scored Perfect 720 In 2024
The drop in the highest marks is likely due to 2025 question paper being more difficult than its previous year’s. Additionally, all 180 questions were made compulsory in 2025, unlike in 2025 when candidates could choose any 10 out of 15 questions in Section B. The negative marking may have also contributed to the decline in top scores.
