NEET Score-Based Counselling: A Comprehensive Guide
1. Overview of NEET Counselling Structure
- The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) conducts counselling for 15% All India Quota (AIQ) seats in MBBS, BDS, PG medical/dental courses, across government, state, and deemed institutions (Wikipedia).
- The remaining 85% State Quota is managed by respective State Medical Boards or DMEs, depending on domicile-based rules (Careers360 Medicine).
2. Historical & Recent Cutoff Trends (Last 10 Years)
- Though detailed past 10-year cutoffs are limited, some data across AIQ and state ranks are available from recent years:
- MBBS Government Colleges (AIQ – Round-wise marks, 2024):
- UR: ~660 marks; SC: ~575 marks; ST: ~544 marks (Tutela Study).
- AIQ Closing Ranks by category (2024):
- UR Round 1 closing rank: ~19,603; by Stray Round: ~25,220 (Tutela Study).
- Year-wise NEET marks range: Year UR (Max-Min) 2025 715–120 2024 720–162 2023 720–137
Tip: For detailed decade-long trends, you may need to access official MCC and NTA archives or state DME publications.
3. State-Wise Cutoffs: At-a-Glance
- State quota cutoffs vary significantly across regions, influenced by seat availability, category, demand, and performance levels (Careers360 Medicine).
- Some illustrative examples (2024 context):
- Karnataka AIQ (MBBS):
- Bangalore Medical College General closing rank: ~9,576 (Collegedunia).
- Delhi Government Colleges (AIQ closing rank, General):
- VMMC & Safdarjung: ~128; Lady Hardinge: ~579; Maulana Azad: ~87 (Collegedunia).
- Bihar Government Colleges:
- Anugrah Narayan Magadh Medical College: rank ~12,285; Patna Medical College: ~3,725 (The Economic Times).
- For other states (Tamil Nadu, UP, West Bengal, etc.), CollegeDunia provides further rank examples and trend data (Collegedunia).
4. Cutoff Differentiation: AIQ vs State Quota
- AIQ (15%) Estimated Cutoff Marks – 2025:
- General/EWS: ~620–680+; OBC: ~590–610; SC/ST: ~520–550 (Collegedunia).
- State Quota (85%) Estimated Cutoff Marks – 2025:
- General/EWS: ~570–620+; OBC: ~550–590; SC/ST: ~420–490 (Collegedunia).
- Takeaway: State quota often requires lower marks but is restricted to domiciled candidates.
5. Courses Beyond MBBS: BDS, AYUSH, PG, etc.
- AYUSH (BAMS/BHMS):
- Cutoffs vary; for example: BHU’s BAMS: closing rank ~7,643; NIA Jaipur: ~8,530 (Collegedunia).
- PG/Dental counselling:
- Conducted separately by MCC and state authorities; cutoffs also depend on NEET-PG and NEET-MDS scores.
