These are approximate reference figures from the 2025 Kerala NEET Counselling. Actual 2026 cutoffs will depend on NEET UG 2026 difficulty and total qualified candidates. Official cutoffs will be released by CEE Kerala after counselling rounds.

For the government quota seats in private self-financing medical colleges in Kerala, the typical cutoff in the General category is between 500–600 NEET marks. Management and NRI quota seats in private colleges have lower cutoffs because the competition for those seats is significantly lower.
