Detailed Solution

The NEET 2025 cutoff for EWS (Economically Weaker Section) category is 50th percentile, and the marks range is 686 to 144. The EWS category follows the same percentile criteria as the General category but offers reservations in medical colleges to economically weaker students.

NEET 2025 EWS Category Cutoff Overview

Category	Qualifying Percentile	Marks Range	Total Candidates
EWS	≥ 50th percentile	686–144	Included in UR total of 11,01,151

Important Points for EWS Candidates

Though the qualifying percentile is the same as General, reserved seats are available for EWS candidates during counseling.
Scoring at least 144 marks qualifies a candidate in EWS category, but to secure top MBBS seats, a score of 600+ is often needed.
The EWS quota has significantly benefited students from weaker economic backgrounds by reserving seats in government and private medical colleges.

Thus, EWS candidates need to focus on scoring high to ensure admission in preferred colleges, even though the qualifying marks are relaxed due to reservation policies.
