📍 Why College Prediction Matters in MBBS Admission
With over 22 lakh NEET aspirants and limited seats, predicting the right college based on your NEET 2025 rank can make the difference between getting a seat in Round 1 vs waiting till the stray round.
Knowing previous cutoff trends, quota types, and state-specific dynamics is crucial to maximize your chances during choice filling.
🎯 Factors That Affect College Prediction
To accurately predict MBBS colleges, consider:
✅ Your NEET UG 2025 Rank (All India Rank - AIR)
✅ State Domicile (for state quota seats)
✅ Category (UR/OBC/SC/ST/EWS)
✅ Quota Type – Govt Quota, Management Quota, NRI, Deemed
✅ State Preferences – Some states are more open to outsiders (like UP, Karnataka)
✅ Budget/Fee Tolerance – For management/NRI quotas
✅ Previous Year Cutoffs – Round-wise trends
📊 NEET 2024 Cutoff Trends (for Reference)
| College Type | Round 1 Cutoff (Govt Quota - Gen) | Management Quota |
|---|---|---|
| AIIMS Delhi | 1 – 100 | ❌ |
| Top Govt College (State) | 4,000 – 20,000 | ❌ |
| Private College (Management) | 1.5 – 3.5 Lakh Rank | ✅ |
| Deemed Universities | 1.2 – 6 Lakh Rank | ✅ |
| NRI Quota (Deemed) | Upto 10 Lakh Rank | ✅ |
⚠️ Final cutoff depends on seat availability, dropouts, and mop-up/stray participation.
