The Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry (BVSc & AH) is one of the most sought-after courses under NEET UG (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) in India. Every year, thousands of students appear for NEET not only for MBBS and BDS seats but also for veterinary courses in reputed government and private colleges.
If you’re aiming for a veterinary seat in 2025, knowing the expected NEET cutoff marks for veterinary courses is crucial to plan your next steps.
What is the NEET Veterinary Cutoff?
The NEET Veterinary cutoff marks are the minimum marks you need to score in the NEET UG exam to qualify for admission into veterinary colleges. These marks are different for each category (General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.) and depend on various factors.
How Are the Expected Cutoff Marks Decided?
Experts calculate expected cutoffs using the following factors:
- Previous year’s cutoff trends
- Total number of applicants
- Category-wise reservation
- Difficulty level of the NEET 2025 paper
- Performance of students in the exam
- Availability of seats in government and private veterinary colleges
These estimates help you set realistic expectations before the actual cutoffs are announced during counselling.

Government vs Private College Cutoff
Cutoff scores for government veterinary colleges are usually higher because:
- They have limited seats
- Offer subsidized tuition fees
- They are more in demand due to better infrastructure and faculty
On the other hand, private veterinary colleges generally have lower cutoff scores, but their fee structures are often higher.
