NEET cutoffs (opening and closing ranks) are the most critical data points for counselling strategy. They tell you which colleges you can realistically target based on your rank. Cutoffs vary by college, category, round, and quota type (AIQ vs state).
For top government medical colleges like Maulana Azad Delhi, Grant Medical Mumbai, Madras Medical Chennai, and KGMU Lucknow, closing ranks for general category AIQ seats typically range from AIR 1,000 to 5,000. State quota cutoffs for these same colleges are generally higher (lower rank numbers) due to state domicile preference.
For tier-2 government colleges in state capitals, general category AIQ closing ranks range from AIR 5,000 to 25,000. State quota closing ranks vary significantly by state.
