NEET UG 2026 AIIMS Cutoff: Compare Opening Ranks, Closing Ranks and Round-Wise Trends
NEET UG 2026 aspirants comparing AIIMS MBBS admission opportunities should examine campus-wise opening and closing ranks alongside their allotted category and counselling round. Available cutoff reports show different patterns across institutions, making a single nationwide “AIIMS cutoff” an unreliable guide for preparing college preferences.
Reported figures for several campuses agree across available analyses, while others differ. The table below therefore presents selected, consistently reported figures for the first two rounds. These remain reference figures and should be checked against the applicable final allotment records before making admission decisions.
AIIMS Cutoff 2026: Selected Round-Wise Ranks
The following figures represent reported general/open-category All India Ranks. They are ranks, not NEET marks or category ranks.
| AIIMS Campus | Round 1 Opening Rank | Round 1 Closing Rank | Round 2 Closing Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bhopal | 90 | 567 | 560 |
| Rishikesh | 63 | 537 | 565 |
| Bhubaneswar | 80 | 664 | 708 |
| Nagpur | 67 | 792 | 783 |
| Raipur | 323 | 1,008 | 1,005 |
| Mangalagiri | 423 | 1,314 | 1,364 |
| Patna | 850 | 1,593 | 1,588 |
| Bathinda | 404 | 1,630 | 1,746 |
What Do Opening and Closing Ranks Mean?
An opening rank identifies the highest-ranked candidate within the specified allotment group. A closing rank identifies the lowest-ranked candidate within that same group. Both values depend on how the data are filtered, including the institution, course, allotted seat category, round and disability reservation.
A candidate’s personal category and the category of the allotted seat are separate fields. Mixing these fields can produce misleading comparisons, particularly when a reserved-category candidate receives an open-category seat.
What the Rank Movement Suggests
Among the selected campuses, Bathinda’s reported closing rank moved from 1,630 to 1,746, while Rishikesh moved from 537 to 565. Bhopal moved in the opposite direction, from 567 to 560. These examples show why applicants should avoid assuming that every subsequent round will accommodate a numerically higher rank.
Movement can reflect available vacancies, candidate preferences and upgrades. A later round may involve only a small number of seats, so its cutoff does not necessarily describe the entire admitted batch.
How to Use AIIMS Cutoff Data During Choice Filling
- Compare your All India Rank with figures for the correct allotted category.
- Check whether the result is provisional, final or subsequently revised.
- Review the current seat matrix before assessing possible opportunities.
- Arrange acceptable campuses in your genuine preference order.
- Consider location, accommodation, travel and institutional facilities alongside rank trends.
- Check reporting and upgrade requirements separately from cutoff tables.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does clearing the NEET qualifying cutoff secure an AIIMS seat?
No. Examination qualification and the rank needed for a particular MBBS allotment are different thresholds. Admission depends on the applicable counselling process and available seats.
Can previous closing ranks guarantee admission?
No. They provide context for planning, but cannot guarantee an allotment in another round or year.
Should candidates rely on circulating Round 3 tables?
Only after checking the corresponding official result. Conflicting dates or unexplained category labels are reasons to verify the underlying document before using those figures.
