AIIMS Cut Off: NEET Closing Ranks Across Campuses

How each AIIMS cut off is decided

AIIMS campuses no longer run a separate MBBS entrance. NTA conducts NEET UG, and the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) handles AIIMS allotment in the same process it uses for the national share of seats at other state run colleges. You fill a list of preferred colleges in order, and seats are handed out in rank order, category by category.

Two different lines matter:

• Qualifying percentile: the NEET minimum for joining counselling, set out in detail under NEET cut off.
• Closing rank: the rank of the final candidate admitted to a particular AIIMS in a particular category. When aspirants talk of an AIIMS cut off, this is the figure they have in mind.

Because AIIMS seats are prized for low fees, strong hospitals and reputation, they fill early, ahead of most state government colleges.

Closing ranks for open, OBC and EWS seats, round 1 of 2024

Only campuses where two independent reports gave the same figures are listed. For AIIMS New Delhi, the SC and ST seats closed at 647 and 1,150 in that round. Later rounds usually push the lines for newer campuses further down as students upgrade to older AIIMS.

Final round lines from 2025

These are last round values, so a stray vacancy filled late can stretch a line well beyond its round 1 figure, which is clearly visible in some ST columns. Treat them as the outer limit of what happened, not the typical rank needed.

Why the campuses differ so much

Fees are low at every AIIMS, yet the closing ranks run from double digits to thousands. Students rank the older institutes higher because of their established faculty, patient load and research. New Delhi stands alone; older campuses such as Bhubaneswar, Rishikesh and Bhopal follow; campuses opened more recently, such as Madurai or Guwahati, close later.

Reserved category lines are often several times the open line. One reason is that high ranking reserved students take open seats on merit, so the reserved seats go to the next students down the list.

Reading these numbers before your own counselling

• Compare your rank with round 1 lines first; they show where you can realistically start.
• Use the final round lines only to judge whether a late vacancy might reach you.
• Fill every AIIMS you would truly join, in order of preference. A long, honest list costs nothing and may get you a seat in a later round.
• Ranks shift with seat increases and new campuses. Every year the MCC seat matrix is the source to check.

Where to check the AIIMS cut off officially

MCC publishes allotment results for every round on mcc.nic.in under UG medical counselling. Each PDF lists rank, allotted institute, course and category, so the last rank against any AIIMS in your category is its closing rank. For courses AIIMS admits through its own tests, notices appear on aiimsexams.ac.in.

A detailed view of the most sought after campus is on the AIIMS Delhi cut off page, and the full NEET pattern is on the NEET syllabus page.

AIIMS routes beyond MBBS

The name AIIMS also appears on several other entrance and recruitment tests, each with its own qualifying rules:

• INI-CET: postgraduate medical admission to AIIMS and some other institutes of national importance, where qualifying percentiles are laid down afresh in every prospectus.
• Undergraduate nursing and allied courses: separate AIIMS entrance tests; see the AIIMS nursing syllabus.
• NORCET: the nursing officer recruitment test for AIIMS hospitals, covered on the NORCET syllabus page.
