In NEET 2019 results, the highest score is 701, while last year, it was 691. Also, the cut-off score to qualify NEET 2019 is much higher in comparison to cut off score for NEET 2018, pointing to rising competition in the medical entrance examination. Given the fact that only 67,000+ medical seats are available in India, most of the students who qualify NEET are left with no option but to go for medical education abroad to realize their dream of becoming a doctor.
