Expected Cutoffs and Seat Availability

Historical data indicates that NEET PG cutoffs vary significantly between government and private medical colleges, with government institutes generally having higher competition and lower closing ranks due to lower fees. A NEET PG rank between 1 and 9,800 is generally considered favorable for securing admission into top postgraduate medical colleges in India. The MCC NEET PG Counselling 2024 Allotment List showed closing ranks ranging from 5,296 for top clinical branches to 91,382 for other specializations.

For 2026, the expected qualifying percentile for the General/EWS category is 50th (235-245 score range), 45th percentile for General – PwBD (215-225 score range), and 40th percentile for SC/ST/OBC (including PwBD) (195-205 score range). These figures are based on previous year trends and the marking scheme. The Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, oversees the online counselling for AIQ seats as per Supreme Court orders.
