NEET-PG Rank Predictor 2026 — marks to All India Rank

It is calibrated on real NEET-PG score-to-All-India-Rank data from 2024 and 2025 (including a 3,000+ candidate merit list) and validated to within about 0.4% median error across the middle of the score range. Top ranks are shown as a wider range because a single mark can shift the rank by dozens near the top. Every prediction is a range with a confidence band — never one fake number.

Yes. NEET-PG 2026 has been reduced from 200 questions (800 marks) to 180 questions (720 marks). The marking scheme is unchanged — +4 for correct, −1 for wrong — across five 36-question sections of 42 minutes each. Enter your score out of 720; our table also shows the equivalent /800 score to compare with older years.

On the /720 pattern, roughly 480+ (≈ 533/800) puts you in strong contention for clinical MD/MS at government colleges; 540+ reaches most clinical branches; and 600+ (≈ 667/800) is topper territory for Radiodiagnosis, Dermatology and General Medicine. The General qualifying cut-off is the 50th percentile — about 248/720.

In 2025, roughly 600/800 gave an AIR near 2,800–3,000, 500/800 near 25,000, and 400/800 near 60,000, out of 2,30,019 candidates. In 2024 the curve was slightly tougher at the same score. The full year-wise marks-vs-rank table above shows both /720 and /800 columns for 2024 and 2025.

By our 2025 AIQ data, MD Radio-Diagnosis typically closes around AIR 765 (top institutes within ~25), MD Dermatology around 1,450, and MD General Medicine around 1,780 — so you generally want 560+/720 (≈ 620+/800) for a comfortable seat. The branch-wise closing-rank table above lists the top, typical and looser closing ranks for every major MD/MS branch at All India Quota.

Your All India Rank (AIR) is your position among all NEET-PG candidates. Your category rank is your position within your own reservation pool — SC, ST, OBC-NCL or EWS. Because each pool is smaller, your category rank is usually much better than your AIR, and most reserved-category counselling seats are allotted on category rank. The predictor estimates both.

The qualifying percentiles are 50th for General/EWS, 45th for General-PwBD and 40th for SC/ST/OBC (including PwBD). On the 2025 scale that was 276, 255 and 235 out of 800 — roughly 248, 230 and 212 out of 720. NBEMS has lowered the cut-off percentile in recent years, so the final qualifying mark can drop further.

No — the score-to-rank curve shifts with paper difficulty and normalisation. A tougher paper (like 2024, held in two normalised shifts) compresses scores; an easier paper spreads them out. That's why we show your rank under both a moderate (2025-like) and a tougher (2024-like) paper as scenarios.

NBEMS ranks candidates by their (normalised) NEET-PG score. When the exam runs in multiple shifts, scores are normalised across shifts before ranking to keep it fair. Ties are broken by age. This predictor learns that score→rank relationship directly from the actual published results.

Your percentile is the share of candidates who scored at or below you — a 90th percentile means you did better than 90% of the ~2.3 lakh candidates, i.e. roughly the top 23,000. Qualifying is percentile-based (50th for General), but seat allotment is by rank, so two people at the same percentile in different years can have different ranks.

About 2.28 lakh appeared in 2024 and 2.30 lakh in 2025; a similar ~2.3 lakh is expected in 2026. The predictor projects your rank onto that expected pool.

Your All India Rank is national and does not change with domicile. But your home state decides your eligibility for the 50% state-quota seats, which are allotted on a separate state merit rank. Enter your domicile so we can point you to the right state counselling once the College Predictor is live.

50% of seats go through All India Quota (MCC) on your AIR — Round 1, 2, 3 and Stray — and 50% through your state's counselling on state merit rank. DNB/NBEMS runs its own counselling for hospital seats. Deemed and private seats are also allotted via MCC. Plan choices across all of these using your predicted rank.

Yes — predicting your rank, category rank and percentile is completely free and needs no sign-up. The detailed college shortlist (which colleges you can actually get across MCC and every state) is a separate tool.

Use your predicted AIR and category rank to plan counselling: shortlist branches and colleges you can realistically get across All India Quota (MCC) and your state quota, and check round-wise closing ranks. The MedAdmit NEET-PG College Predictor turns your rank into an exact, filterable college list — coming soon — and you can book a free 1:1 counselling session in the meantime.
