The NEET qualifying cut-off is the minimum score you need to be eligible for counselling. It is a percentile-based band, so the marks move every year with paper difficulty and the number of candidates. Compare the last three sessions below.

Qualifying cut-off only. The admission (closing) cut-off for a specific college is always higher and is decided round by round during counselling.
NEET UG is the single national entrance test conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission to MBBS, BDS and AYUSH courses in every government, private and deemed medical college in India. Around 20–23 lakh candidates appear each year for roughly 1.37 lakh MBBS seats.
Clearing the qualifying percentile only makes you eligible to register for counselling. Whether you get a seat depends on the closing rank of each college in each round — which is why a realistic, rank-matched choice list matters far more than the qualifying score itself.
All India Quota (15%), deemed and central university seats are allotted by the Medical Counselling Committee. State quota counselling runs in parallel through each state authority.
Dates as notified by MCC. Always reconfirm on the official portal mcc.nic.in before acting.
Ranked by the Ministry of Education's National Institutional Ranking Framework, the benchmark used across teaching, research, graduation outcomes and perception.
Three steps, run by counsellors who have taken students through every round of MCC and state counselling.
We read your NEET 2026 score, category, domicile and budget against previous years' closing ranks, then build a shortlist split into safe, likely and stretch colleges.
Most seats are lost in choice filling, not in the exam. We help you order preferences round by round, and advise when to hold a seat versus when to upgrade.
Document checklist, verification, fee structure, hostel and bond terms explained in writing before you pay anything, so there are no surprises at reporting.
No inflated promises. If a college is out of range for your rank, we say so and show you what is realistically in range.
Tuition, hostel, caution deposit, bond liability and NRI/management differences laid out side by side before you decide.
All India Quota, state quota, deemed universities, institutional, NRI and management seats — in one shortlist.
The same person handles your case through every round, so you never re-explain your situation.
Registration, locking and reporting deadlines are tight. We track them for you so nothing lapses.
If MBBS does not convert at your rank, we map BDS colleges in the same rounds so a year is never lost by default.
Share your NEET score and we will come back with a rank-matched college list and a round-by-round plan — free.

For the General and EWS categories the qualifying cut-off is the 50th percentile, which works out to a score band of 715–213 in NEET 2026. OBC, SC and ST candidates qualify at the 40th percentile (212–177), and General/EWS–PwBD candidates at the 45th percentile (212–194).
No. Qualifying only makes you eligible to register for counselling. With about 1.37 lakh MBBS seats against 20–23 lakh candidates, a seat depends on your rank, category, domicile state and how well you fill your choices in each round.
As per the NMC seat matrix for the 2026–27 session, there are 823 medical colleges offering 1,36,939 MBBS seats — 63,296 in government colleges and 73,643 in private and deemed institutions.
All India Quota covers 15% of government college seats and is allotted centrally by MCC, open to candidates from any state. The remaining 85% is state quota, allotted by your state's counselling authority and usually restricted to candidates with domicile in that state.
MCC conducts four rounds — Round 1, Round 2, Round 3 (mop-up) and an online stray vacancy round. A seat allotted in the stray vacancy round cannot be surrendered, so choices in that round should be filled carefully.
