Primary answer
Yes, the Government of India, in consultation with the National Medical Commission and the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences, may reduce the NEET PG cutoff percentile in certain situations. This usually happens when a large number of postgraduate medical seats remain vacant due to insufficient candidates qualifying with the original cutoff percentile. When reduced, the revised cutoff percentile is announced officially and additional candidates become eligible to participate in counselling.
