How cutoffs are published

• All-India Quota (AIQ) – 15% seats: counseling by MCC; closing ranks and marks published after each round.
• State Quota – 85% seats: Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS) / state counselling publishes college-wise last ranks for state rounds and management quotas.

Official state lists / last ranks are published on NTRUHS portals and state counselling bulletins. Example: MBBS management quota last ranks PDF published by Dr. NTR UHS. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Representative cutoff table (recent year closing ranks — illustrative)

Cutoffs change each round/year — use them only as guidance. For college-wise detailed cutoffs see Careers360/Collegedunia/official NTRUHS release. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

What affects cutoffs?

• Number of seats and applicant pool strength.
• Category (GEN/OBC/SC/ST/EWS) and PWD status.
• Local vs non-local status for state quota (Andhra Pradesh often differentiates local zones).
• Round-by-round seat movement (upgradation/withdrawal) — mop-up and stray/vacant rounds can shift closing ranks.

Personal Shortlist & Chance Estimator 🧾

Enter your NEET All-India Rank (AIR) or NEET score, select category and seat type (AIQ or State) to get a quick chance estimate against example closing ranks. This is indicative only — use official round data during counselling. NEET AIR (if known): Or NEET Score: Category: GEN OBC SC ST EWS Seat type: AIQ (15%) State (85%)

Estimate Chances

How the estimator works (simple logic)

1. If you input AIR, comparator uses example closing ranks from this guide (AIQ) or state closing ranks (if ‘State’ chosen).
2. If you input score only, it uses a rough score→AIR conversion table (approx.) — for precision, use official MCC conversion or your state counselling conversion.
3. Result: returns High / Moderate / Low / Very Low chance per college based on where your AIR/score sits relative to closing ranks.

Note: This is a heuristic tool for quick shortlisting. Always cross-check with official, current round closing ranks. Example sources used: Careers360 college-wise cutoffs, Dr. NTR UHS last ranks PDF. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
