The information provided above is explained through this bar graph as well. This graph helps to understand that relation between NEET score and rank is inversely proportional.
As discussed above, a candidate's score in the NEET UG exam is directly proportional to his/her rank. The higher the marks, the higher is the rank. NEET follows the normalization process for NEET exam through which it brings all students at one level, whether they have attempted an easy or hard question paper. Their marks will be calculated section-wise and as overall. This is because the National Testing Agency (NTA) releases the results in percentile which is different from percentage.
If a candidate scores 90 percentile, it means they performed better than 90% of all the candidates who appeared for the exam. To understand this more clearly, you can refer to the official NTA PDF, which explains the entire normalization process in detail along with examples.
As per NTA guidelines, the cutoffs are released category-wise and thus the rank will also depend on your category (General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.). Candidates of general category tend to face higher competition than other categories because of the higher registrations in this category. Check here NEET category-wise expected ranks for MBBS (AIQ 15%). The Testbook’s NEET Rank Predictor considers AIQ vs State Quota to give an approximate rank.

Percentile is one of the criteria that majorly affect your NEET rank. If your percentile is high then you will get a good rank irrespective of your category, and the seat will be allocated accordingly. Here is the complete table to give you an idea of expected rank for the respective percentile range. The NEET rank predictor 2025 considers this factor as well to give the rank of the candidate.

Lets understand the expected NEET rank based on the NEET cut off trends from previous years. This will help you understand whether you will get a Government college with this score or not. Top candidates always get their seat in top government medical colleges that offer less fees and high exposure for learning.
NEET Marks Range |
Approx. Rank (AIR)[2023] |
General (UR) |
OBC |
SC |
ST |
720–715 |
1 – 20 |
Top AIIMS assured. For example, AIIMS Delhi (Gen) closed at ~Rank 56 in 2023 (far below this range). |
Top AIIMS assured. (OBC cutoff for AIIMS Delhi was ~Rank 242 in 2022, so ranks in this range easily secure AIIMS) |
Top AIIMS assured. (SC cutoff AIIMS Delhi ~Rank 3087 in 2022 – much lower merit, so SC ranks 1–20 have no issue) |
Top AIIMS assured. (ST cutoff for AIIMS Delhi also in low thousands, so top ST ranks easily get AIIMS) |
710–700 |
~20 – 200 |
All AIIMS likely. (E.g. AIIMS Delhi Gen cutoff Rank 55 is within this range; other top govt colleges also available) |
All AIIMS likely. (OBC candidates in this range even secure AIIMS Delhi; OBC Delhi cutoff ~Rank 242) |
All AIIMS likely. (SC candidates in top ~200 ranks can choose any AIIMS; Delhi SC cutoff ~3087) |
All AIIMS likely. (ST candidates in this range have access to any AIIMS; far above typical ST cutoff rank) |
699–680 |
~200 – 1,000 |
AIIMS (most) probable. Ranks up to ~1k can get prestigious AIIMS (maybe not Delhi if >56, but other AIIMS like Jodhpur, etc.). |
AIIMS (most) probable. (OBC in this range still well above OBC closing ranks in new AIIMS; OBC AIIMS cutoffs ~Rank 1.5k–4k for newer AIIMS). |
AIIMS assured. (SC cutoff for AIIMS seats goes to much lower scores – e.g. SC got AIIMS up to Rank ~79k in 2022 – so 680+ marks is extremely safe) |
AIIMS assured. (Similarly, ST seats in AIIMS closed at Rank ~118k in 2022, far lower merit. 680+ marks ensures an AIIMS seat for ST) |
679–650 |
~1,000 – 4,000 |
AIIMS likely (newer). General candidates in this range typically secure an AIIMS or top government college seat. (E.g. Gen last AIIMS rank was 21,289 at 614 marks in 2023, so 650+ is well above that) |
AIIMS likely. (OBC last AIIMS rank ~23,606 at 610 marks in 2023, so 650 marks is comfortably within an AIIMS seat for OBC as well) |
AIIMS assured. (SC last AIIMS seat was at 565 marks in 2023 – much lower. SC 650+ easily gets AIIMS or any govt college) |
AIIMS assured. (ST last AIIMS seat was at ~453 marks in 2023. An ST scorer 650+ is far above required, securing AIIMS/govt seats easily) |
649–630 |
~4,000 – 8,500 |
AIIMS/New Govt Colleges. Gen candidates here are around the tail of AIIMS selections. Cutoff trend: ~614 marks (Rank ~21k) was Gen’s last AIIMS seat in 2023. Thus 630+ (Rank <10k) still got into AIIMS or reputed govt colleges. |
AIIMS/New Govt Colleges. (OBC cutoff for AIIMS ~610 marks in 2023, Rank ~23.6k, so OBC 630+ marks are above that; government MBBS seat assured.) |
AIIMS/Govt assured. (SC cutoff ~565 marks for AIIMS in 2023, so 630+ is well above – SC candidates in this range secured AIIMS or any govt college) |
AIIMS/Govt assured. (ST cutoff ~453 marks for AIIMS in 2023 – 630+ marks is far higher, guaranteeing any MBBS seat under ST quota) |
629–600 |
~8,500 – 19,000 |
Govt MBBS very likely. General cutoff for 15% All-India Govt MBBS has hovered ~590–600 marks (AIR ~18k–20k) in recent years. A Gen score in this range often gets a government college (if ~610+ might be a new AIIMS, if ~600 a state gov college). |
Govt MBBS likely. OBC reservation lowers the needed score slightly; mid-590s marks are usually enough for OBC. (In 2023, OBC with ~580+ marks got AIQ govt seats). ~610 was OBC’s AIIMS cutoff, so 600 falls around last OBC govt seat in many states. |
Govt MBBS assured. SC candidates in this range have a wide margin – even ~500–550 marks have secured SC quota MBBS seats. (For instance, an SC candidate with Rank ~100k (~450 marks) got a govt seat in 2023, so 600 is very safe.) |
Govt MBBS assured. (Similarly, ST seats remain available at much lower scores. In 2023, ST quota MBBS closed around 400–450 marks. An ST with ~600 is guaranteed a govt seat.) |
599–580 |
~19,000 – 28,000 |
Govt MBBS borderline. General candidates ~590+ marks often got a govt MBBS seat (Gen last AIQ seat ≈ Rank 21.5k in 2023). At ~580 marks (≈28k rank), a Gen seat is uncertain – may secure a state quota seat in less competitive states, or else pivot to private/BDS. |
Govt MBBS possible. OBC cutoffs are slightly more lenient; an OBC ~580 marks stands a chance at a government seat (especially under state quota). By this range, AIIMS seats for OBC are gone, but some lower-tier govt colleges may still have OBC seats. |
Govt MBBS likely. Most SC seats (AIQ or state) would still be open at ~580. Trend: SC AIQ seats have gone to ~450 marks, so 580 is well above the SC cutoff – an SC student here can secure a decent government college. |
Govt MBBS likely. (ST quota seats typically remain available down to very low marks. At ~580 marks, ST candidates are far above their cutoff. Nearly all desired colleges would still be accessible under ST quota.) |
579–560 |
~28,000 – 40,000 |
Govt MBBS unlikely (Gen). By mid-500s, general category seats in govt colleges are mostly filled. (~570 was often not enough for Gen MBBS in 2021–23.) A Gen score here may only fetch a government BDS seat or a private MBBS seat. |
Govt MBBS unlikely. OBC candidates in mid-500s marks are also mostly left out of AIQ MBBS. Some state OBC seats might remain till the high-500s, but by ~560 marks many OBC aspirants turn to private colleges or BDS. |
Govt MBBS possible. SC candidates with ~550–570 marks still have good chances in reserved seats. (In 2022, many SC seats filled around 500–520 marks; SC AIQ cutoff in 2022 was ~506 marks.) Thus, 560 is slightly above typical SC cutoff – likely securing a govt seat (especially via state quota). |
Govt MBBS possible. (ST candidates in this range should still secure a govt seat in a reserved quota, since ST cutoffs have been ~450 marks. 560 is well above that.) |
559–540 |
~40,000 – 53,000 |
Govt MBBS out – Private likely. General category needs were much higher; ~540 is far below recent Gen MBBS cutoffs. Such scores usually qualify for private medical colleges (management quota) or dental seats, not government MBBS. |
Govt MBBS out – Private likely. OBC cutoff marks for MBBS also do not drop this low in AIQ; an OBC ~550 or below will typically need to seek a private college or dental course (unless a rare state seat is open). |
Reserved MBBS maybe. SC candidates ~540 have a fair chance in state quota or remaining AIQ seats. (SC seats in some states have extended into the 480–500 mark range in the past.) 540 is slightly below some SC cutoffs (e.g. SC AIIMS ~565), but many SC quota MBBS seats in govt colleges close around 450–500 marks, so this score could still secure a seat in 2021–2023. |
Reserved MBBS maybe. (ST candidates with ~540 are still above typical ST cutoff. Many ST seats have gone to candidates with marks in the 300s, so 540 might secure one of the last ST seats in a government college if available. If not, private MBBS is the fallback.) |
539–520 |
~53,000 – 68,000 |
Private MBBS zone. General candidates in this range have no realistic chance at govt MBBS seats. Admissions are possible in private medical colleges (this is well above the qualifying 50th percentile). |
Private MBBS zone. OBC students ~520 likewise will not find government seats (AIQ or state) at these scores. Private colleges or BDS are the main options. |
Possible last Govt seats. SC quota seats sometimes extend into this range. For example, SC closing ranks have been reported beyond 70k–100k (≈500–450 marks). An SC candidate around 520 marks may still grab a remaining MBBS seat in a less sought-after college (especially via state counseling). |
Possible last Govt seats. (ST seats often remain available to much lower marks; 520 is above many ST cutoffs. An ST student here stands a good chance of taking one of the final ST-reserved MBBS seats if any remain vacant in AIQ or state quota.) |
519–500 |
~68,000 – 85,000 |
Private MBBS. No general-category government seats are available at this score. Only private colleges (many have cutoffs around the qualifying mark for Gen) or possibly BDS in government colleges are options. |
Private MBBS. Similarly, OBC candidates with ~500 marks will need private colleges. OBC reservation doesn’t help once marks are this low, as all reserved seats are taken by higher scorers. |
Almost at cutoff. SC candidates ~500 have a chance at the last SC MBBS seats. In 2023, some SC seats were filled around this range. For instance, SC AIIMS cutoff was 565, but SC seats in other gov colleges extended to ~450 marks or lower. 500 is on the cusp – may get a seat in certain states or in mop-up rounds. |
Likely last ST seats. (An ST with ~500 is slightly above the ST AIIMS cutoff (453), so would secure a govt seat in 2023. Historically, ST seats in some colleges have been allotted even to those just above qualifying marks, so 500 is generally enough for the final ST seat in most scenarios.) |
499–480 |
~85,000 – 103,000 |
Private MBBS. General category needs were far above this – 480 is well below any government MBBS cutoff for UR. Only private medical college admissions are feasible (assuming the candidate qualifies NEET). |
Private MBBS. OBC candidates at ~480 marks likewise can only opt for private institutes (some lower-tier private colleges have cutoffs near the NEET qualifying score for OBC). |
Possibly cutoff reached. This range is around the lower end of SC MBBS cutoffs in recent years. SC quotas in many states tend to fill by ~450–480 marks. An SC candidate with high-400s marks is right at the margin – they might get a seat if any SC-reserved MBBS seats remain (e.g. in a less preferred college or in state quota). |
Possibly cutoff reached. (For ST, high-400s marks are still slightly above the typical cutoff. In 2022–23, ST seats closed around mid-400s. An ST with ~480 could still secure a seat if the ST quota isn’t filled earlier. This is near the tail end of ST selections.) |
479–460 |
~1,03,000 – 1,23,000 |
Private MBBS. No chance at govt MBBS for General; this score is below even state cutoffs. Only qualifying for private colleges (or government BDS in some states). |
Private MBBS. OBC candidates at ~470 marks are also effectively limited to private colleges for MBBS. |
MBBS borderline. SC candidates ~460 marks are at the extreme margin of securing an MBBS seat. In some years, SC seats have been allotted to candidates in the 450–430 mark range. For example, SC Round-1 in 2023 went to Rank ~100k (~430–440 marks). ~460 marks may secure an SC seat in a less competitive state, but it’s not guaranteed. |
MBBS borderline. (ST candidates ~460 are just above the known ST cutoff of ~453 marks. This is around the last selection point – an ST with high-400s could get one of the final ST seats if available. If those are filled by this point, no MBBS seat remains under ST quota.) |
459–440 |
~1,23,000 – 1,45,000 |
Private MBBS. 440 is far below any general-category MBBS cutoff (which are >590 marks). Only private colleges (or allied courses) are options for General candidates. |
Private MBBS. OBC candidates with scores in the 440s are similarly limited to private admissions. OBC-reserved MBBS seats do not remain at this low score in any recent year. |
Likely no MBBS. By ~450 marks, most SC-reserved seats across India are filled. In 2022, for instance, SC seats were filled up to ~133k rank (≈450 marks). An SC candidate around 440 would likely miss out on MBBS and need to consider BDS or private options. |
Possibly last resort. (ST quotas sometimes see seats unfilled due to fewer high-scoring ST candidates. In rare cases, an ST with ~430–440 marks might still get a leftover MBBS seat in a remote college. Generally, however, ~440 marks is at or just below recent ST cutoffs for MBBS, so the chance is very slim.) |
<440 (below) |
>1,45,000 |
No Govt MBBS – Scores below ~430–440 have no government MBBS seats in recent years for UR. Candidates must meet the qualifying cutoff (e.g. 137 marks for Gen in 2023) and then pursue private colleges (usually high fees) or other courses. |
No Govt MBBS – Similarly for OBC: below ~400–420 marks there are no MBBS seats through counseling. (OBC qualifying cutoff is lower – 107 marks in 2023 – but admission still requires much higher scores.) Private colleges or management/NRI seats are the alternative. |
No Govt MBBS – By this range, SC seats are exhausted. (SC qualifying percentile is 40th, ~107 marks, so <440 still qualifies, but all SC MBBS seats historically close well above this range.) Only chance for MBBS is in private institutes (often with lower merit threshold for reserved categories). |
No Govt MBBS – ST seats are exhausted by this range in counseling. (ST qualifying cutoff ~107 marks.) Very low scoring ST candidates may qualify NEET but won’t secure a government MBBS seat; they would need to opt for private colleges or other courses if available. |
This is all about the NEET rank predictor. We hope that this complete analysis to predict the NEET rank has helped you. This NEET Rank Predictor with College Prediction is a free tool that uses online available data from previous and recent years to give an approximate rank. Testbook does not claim its accuracy, as multiple factors are included to deduce a rank of NEET candidate. Download the Testbook app for study material on various entrance exams like CUET UG, etc.
There are multiple factors that directly or indirectly affect NEET rank predictor and its output. For example:
No fixed number is know yet. But it is expected that around 23 lakh students registered for NEET UG 2025. The number will be less as compared to NEET 2024. This will directly affect the percentile and the rank of the candidates. To know more, check how many students registered for NEET UG 2025? This might give a better clarification.
