NEET College List Score Wise — AIIMS, Government and Deemed Colleges
Which medical colleges each NEET score reached, using NTA's 2026 score counts and MCC 2025 closing ranks for AIIMS, government and deemed colleges.
Seats are allotted by rank, not marks — so this list works in two steps. First, NTA's 2026 result tells you what rank each score meant (19 candidates above 700, 1,492 at 650+, 10,160 at 600+, 90,780 at 500+). Then MCC's 2025 closing ranks show which colleges each rank reached. 2026 closing ranks don't exist yet, because 2026 counselling runs until October.
Score-Wise College Options (Open Category)
Each band shows the 2026 score, the rank range it meant in 2026, and colleges whose 2025 Open-category closing AIR fell in that range (All India Quota, or the open seat quota for AIIMS, JIPMER and BHU; MBBS; MCC Rounds 1–3). A 2027 paper of different difficulty will shift the scores; the ranks are the better guide.

Start NEET Prep — Free500–600 Marks (AIR about 10,161–90,780): Remaining AIQ Seats, State Quota & Top Deemed
| Route | What the 2025 Data Shows |
|---|---|
| AIQ government seats (Open) | The last seat went at AIR 26,178 in Round 3 and 27,332 in the stray round — so only the upper part of this band |
| AIQ government seats (OBC / EWS) | Last seats at AIR 26,231 (OBC) and 29,997 (EWS) in Round 3 |
| State quota (85%) | Government colleges in your home state — closing ranks depend heavily on the state; check its previous-year list |
| Top deemed universities | Kasturba Medical College, Manipal closed at AIR 43,835 (Open, deemed seats) |
State matters: The same rank can win a government seat through state quota in one state and fall short in another, because seats per applicant differ. Compare your state's previous-year closing ranks, not just AIQ.
Below 500 Marks (AIR beyond about 90,780)
| Option | Details |
|---|---|
| Reserved-category AIQ seats | In MCC 2025 Round 3, AIQ government seats went to AIR 1,36,445 for SC and 1,62,975 for ST candidates |
| Deemed universities (MCC) | Open closing AIRs in 2025: JSS Mysuru 1,67,972; Amrita Kochi 2,90,052; Sri Ramachandra Chennai 3,33,238; Saveetha Chennai 5,25,685; SRM Chennai 7,04,056 — fees are far higher than government colleges |
| Private colleges (state counselling) | Filled through each state's counselling, often with state quota, management and NRI seats at different fees |
| BDS, BAMS, BHMS, BUMS | Dental and AYUSH courses also admit through NEET and usually close at lower ranks than MBBS |
| Retake NEET | Worth considering if your score is well below your target — one focused year can improve it a lot |

These are the 15% All India Quota seats (MCC 2025, Rounds 1–3). State quota closing ranks for the same colleges are published by each state and are different.
Category-Wise Advantage
Reserved-category candidates compete within their category, so the same All India Rank goes much further. Closing AIRs in MCC 2025:
| Seat | Open | OBC | EWS | SC | ST |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AIIMS New Delhi | 48 | 207 | 254 | 644 | 1,405 |
| KGMU Lucknow (AIQ) | 2,588 | 4,217 | 3,211 | 44,859 | 63,833 |
| Last AIQ government MBBS seat (Round 3) | 26,178 | 26,231 | 29,997 | 1,36,445 | 1,62,975 |
5 Tips for College Selection
- Government > Private. A government seat gives the same MBBS degree for a fraction of private or deemed fees. Prefer government wherever you can.
- Check NMC recognition. Ensure the college is recognised by the National Medical Commission. Unrecognised colleges mean your degree may not be valid.
- Hospital matters. A medical college attached to a large, busy hospital provides better clinical training than one with a small hospital.
- Check the full cost. Tuition, hostel, mess and other charges can differ a lot between colleges with similar tuition.
- Always stay in the later rounds. In MCC 2025, Grant Medical College's Open AIQ seats closed at AIR 2,368 in Round 1 but 10,798 in the stray round. Students who "settle" early often miss better options.
Score-to-rank points: NTA's NEET (UG) 2026 result press release (16 July 2026). Closing ranks: MCC 2025 allotment results. 2027 closing ranks will depend on seats, choices and the first computer-based NEET-UG paper. Always verify NMC recognition status at nmc.org.in.

Start freeFrequently Asked Questions
What college can I get with 500 marks in NEET?
In the 2026 re-exam, 500 marks meant an All India Rank of about 90,780. For Open, OBC and EWS candidates that is beyond the 2025 All India Quota government range (the last seats went at about AIR 26,000–30,000). For SC and ST candidates it is within it — AIQ government seats went to AIR 1,36,445 (SC) and 1,62,975 (ST) in MCC 2025 Round 3. Deemed universities closed much lower: JSS Mysuru at AIR 1,67,972, Amrita Kochi at 2,90,052 and SRM Chennai at 7,04,056 (Open, 2025). State quota options depend on your state.
What NEET score is needed for AIIMS Delhi?
AIIMS New Delhi's Open seats closed at AIR 48 in MCC 2025. In the 2026 re-exam, 19 candidates scored above 700 and 138 above 690, so a rank near 50 needed about 690–700 marks. Other AIIMS closed later: Jodhpur 392, Bhopal 634, Rishikesh 816, Nagpur 1,030, Raipur 1,376 and Patna 1,939 — roughly 600–690 marks in 2026 terms. Reserved-category closing ranks are higher (AIIMS Delhi: SC 644, ST 1,405).
Can I get a government college with 400 marks in NEET?
NTA did not publish a count for 400 marks, but 90,780 candidates scored 500 or more in 2026, so 400 marks meant a rank well beyond AIR 90,780. For Open candidates that is far past the All India Quota government range. SC and ST candidates had AIQ government seats up to AIR 1,36,445 and 1,62,975 in 2025, and state quota seats may go further — check your state's previous-year closing ranks for your category.
What is the difference between AIQ and state quota colleges?
AIQ (All India Quota): 15% of seats in state government colleges, filled through MCC counselling at mcc.nic.in, open to candidates from every state. State Quota: 85% of those seats, filled through state counselling, usually for the state's domiciled candidates. Closing ranks differ between the two and from state to state. You should register for BOTH.
Are private medical colleges worth the fee?
It depends on the college. Established private and deemed colleges can offer good hospital exposure, but fees can run to many lakhs a year, so the total cost of MBBS is very high. Check: (1) NMC recognition status, (2) the size and patient load of the attached hospital, (3) faculty strength, (4) the full fee including hostel. Avoid unrecognised or poorly rated colleges regardless of fee.
How to check previous year NEET cutoffs for specific colleges?
For AIQ, AIIMS, JIPMER, central and deemed universities: mcc.nic.in → opening and closing ranks, or the round-wise allotment results. For state quota seats: your state medical counselling website. For private colleges: the state-level counselling portal. The closing rank of the last round shows the lowest rank at which admission was possible.
