Chasing an MS OBG cutoff for NEET-PG that you can actually rely on? Obstetrics & Gynaecology (MS/MD) is one of the most competitive clinical branches in the country, and the rank you need swings sharply by category, quota, round and college — from premier government seats to DNB hospitals, private colleges and deemed universities. This guide breaks down where OBG seats sit, indicative competitiveness, fees and stipend, and how counselling works — then hands you the one tool that turns all of it into your exact, personalised college list.
Enter your NEET-PG rank and category once in the MedAdmit NEET-PG College Predictor and get your personalised MD/MS/DNB OBG college list — across MCC All India Quota and every state — with round-wise closing ranks, annual fees, stipend, bond and an admit-probability for each seat. Accurate, no guesswork.
Why is OBG one of the most competitive NEET-PG branches?
Obstetrics & Gynaecology is consistently among the most sought-after clinical PG branches after MBBS. Demand is driven by rising high-risk pregnancies, the rapid growth of IVF and women's-health hospitals, and a scope of practice that supports both institutional jobs and independent consulting. Because so many candidates rank OBG near the top of their preference lists, the good seats fill fast and closing ranks stay tight — which is exactly why you should plan against your own rank rather than a generic table.
- Rising need for skilled obstetricians for high-risk pregnancies and maternal care
- Rapid growth of IVF, infertility and dedicated women's-health hospitals
- Broad private-practice and consultant scope, often soon after qualifying
- Fellowship ladders: reproductive endocrinology & IVF, maternal-fetal medicine, gynae-oncology, urogynaecology and minimal-access surgery
- Strong demand in India and abroad, across both public and private sectors

See my exact OBG collegesWhat rank do you need for MS/MD OBG in NEET-PG 2026?
There is no single 'rank for OBG'. The number that decides admission is the closing rank — the last (highest-numbered) All India Rank that actually secured a given OBG seat at a given college in a given round. It shifts every year and differs by category, quota (AIQ vs state), round and college. The bands below are indicative signals of competitiveness only; treat them as direction, not a promise, and verify the exact round-wise closing rank for your rank and category in the predictor.
| Seat type / route | Counselling authority | Indicative competitiveness (General) | Fee signal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premier government MS/MD OBG (top metro & state GMCs) | MCC AIQ + state quota | Among the most competitive clinical seats — very low (best) ranks | Lowest tuition |
| Other government MS/MD OBG (state GMCs) | State authority (plus 50% AIQ) | Competitive; broad band, varies widely by state & category | Low tuition |
| DNB OBG (NBEMS teaching hospitals) | MCC, within AIQ rounds | More accessible than premier government MS; still in demand | Nominal tuition |
| Private MS/MD OBG | State quota / management | Opens at progressively higher ranks | High tuition |
| Deemed-university OBG | MCC deemed rounds | Rank access widens; largely fee-driven | Highest tuition / NRI |
Two structural facts shape every OBG rank question. First, seats split 50% All India Quota (run by the MCC at mcc.nic.in) and 50% state quota (run by each state's own authority, with domicile rules). Second, the prestigious INI institutes — AIIMS, PGIMER, JIPMER — do not fill their OBG seats from NEET-PG at all; they use INI-CET, a separate exam. So your NEET-PG rank maps to a large but specific universe of government, DNB, private and deemed seats, and the predictor is what pins that universe to your number.

Which colleges offer MS/MD Obstetrics & Gynaecology?
OBG seats are spread across four broad pools: top government medical colleges, a large number of state government colleges, NBEMS-accredited hospitals offering DNB OBG, and private/deemed universities. Which of these is realistic for you depends entirely on your rank, category and domicile — the list below shows the landscape, and the predictor narrows it to your shortlist.
- Top NEET-PG government colleges such as Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) and Lady Hardinge Medical College (LHMC), Delhi
- Leading state government colleges like Seth GS Medical College & KEM Hospital and Grant Government Medical College (Mumbai) and B.J. Government Medical College (Pune), alongside established GMCs in every state
- INI institutes (AIIMS Delhi, PGIMER Chandigarh, JIPMER) — prestigious, but admitted through INI-CET, a separate exam, not NEET-PG
- A large pool of DNB OBG seats in NBEMS-accredited teaching hospitals nationwide
- Private and deemed universities across every state, with wider rank access at higher fees
| Where the seat sits | Who runs counselling | Portal | What to remember |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50% All India Quota (AIQ) | Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) | mcc.nic.in | Central pool, open across states; DNB and deemed included |
| 50% state quota | Each state's counselling authority | State portal | Domicile / state-MBBS rules apply |
| DNB (post-MBBS) | MCC, within AIQ rounds | mcc.nic.in | Training in NBEMS-accredited hospitals, not colleges |
| Deemed universities | MCC deemed rounds | mcc.nic.in | No domicile; fees are the main gate |
| INI institutes (AIIMS / PGIMER / JIPMER) | INI-CET (separate exam) | aiimsexams.ac.in | Not filled from NEET-PG — plan separately |

How much do MS/MD OBG fees and stipend cost?
Fees and stipend often matter as much as rank for OBG, because the branch commands higher fees than non-clinical seats in every college category. The bands below are indicative and change every year; the NMC mandates private-college stipend parity with state institutions, but compliance is uneven. Always verify the exact annual fee, monthly stipend and bond for each college before you lock a choice.
| College type | Indicative annual tuition | Indicative monthly stipend | Bond? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Government (state GMC) | ~Rs 0.5-1.5 lakh (state-set; some lower) | ~Rs 45k-85k+ | State service bond common |
| Central / INI (via INI-CET, not NEET-PG) | Nominal | ~Rs 80k-1.1 lakh | Usually none / short |
| DNB (NBEMS hospital) | Nominal to modest | Varies by hospital | Varies by hospital |
| Private (MS/MD OBG) | ~Rs 8-25 lakh+ | ~Rs 35k-70k (parity uneven) | Often none |
| Deemed university | ~Rs 18-65 lakh+ (mgmt/NRI higher) | Often minimal | Usually none |
- Hostel and mess, often Rs 1-2 lakh/year and billed separately from tuition
- Refundable caution deposits and university/examination charges
- Service-bond penalty if you leave a state government seat early
- Cost-of-living gap between metro and smaller-city postings
- Fee revisions between counselling rounds — confirm the current year's figure

How does NEET-PG counselling work for OBG seats?
- Register on the counselling portal — MCC (mcc.nic.in) for All India Quota, your state authority for state quota
- Fill and lock your choices — order OBG colleges and seats by genuine preference
- Seat allotment is released round-wise, based on your rank, category and locked choices
- Report / join on allotment, or use freeze / float / upgrade to chase a better OBG seat
- Track later rounds — mop-up and stray-vacancy rounds can still open good OBG seats
Run AIQ and state quota in parallel: they have separate registrations, choice lists and deadlines, and a strong state-quota or DNB option can secure a government or government-hospital OBG seat that AIQ alone would miss. Keep both document sets ready — NEET-PG scorecard, MBBS degree and internship certificate, registration certificate, ID and category proof, plus domicile / state-MBBS proof for state counselling.

Will you get a government seat?
Will your rank land a government OBG seat? The predictor runs your rank against MCC AIQ and every state quota at once to show where a government seat is realistic for you.
Can I get a government seat?MS vs MD vs DNB OBG: which route should you pick?
Obstetrics & Gynaecology can be pursued as MS or MD (the scope of practice is the same; the naming varies by college), as DNB through NBEMS hospitals, or as a PG Diploma. Most OBG seats sit under MS/MD, but DNB is a genuinely strong option — recognised, larger in seat number, often reachable at more accessible ranks, and low on tuition. The right route depends on your rank, budget and where you want to train.
| Route | Awarding body | Where you train | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| MS Obstetrics & Gynaecology | University / medical college | Medical college + attached hospital | Most OBG seats sit here |
| MD Obstetrics & Gynaecology | University / medical college | Medical college + attached hospital | Same scope as MS OBG; naming varies by college |
| DNB Obstetrics & Gynaecology | NBEMS | Accredited teaching hospital | More seats, often accessible ranks, nominal fees |
| PG Diploma (DGO) | University / NBEMS | College / hospital | Shorter; fewer seats; can bridge toward a degree |
How should you fill choices for OBG?
- DO map your rank and category to a wide, realistic OBG list before you lock anything
- DO weigh stipend, bond, city and training exposure alongside tuition — not tuition alone
- DO keep AIQ and state-quota strategies running together
- DON'T fill only dream colleges — always include safe and target OBG options
- DON'T ignore DNB OBG; strong hospitals deliver excellent training at low cost
- DON'T lock choices off last year's numbers alone — verify against your own rank and category

What rank is needed for MS OBG in NEET-PG 2026?
There is no single number. OBG closing ranks change every year and differ by category, round, quota and college. Top government MS/MD OBG seats are among the most competitive clinical seats, while DNB, private and deemed seats open at progressively higher ranks. Enter your rank and category in the NEET-PG College Predictor to see the OBG colleges realistically in reach for you.
Is OBG offered as MS or MD?
Both. Many colleges award MS (Obstetrics & Gynaecology) and some award MD (Obstetrics & Gynaecology); the scope of practice is the same. DNB OBG through NBEMS hospitals and a PG Diploma (DGO) are additional routes.
What was the NEET-PG 2026 qualifying cut-off?
NBEMS declared the result on 24 September 2026. Qualifying scores out of 720 were 262 for General/EWS, 244 for General-PwBD, and 226 for SC/ST/OBC (including PwBD). Qualifying only makes you eligible for counselling — your rank decides your OBG seat.
How is the OBG closing rank different from the qualifying cut-off?
The qualifying cut-off is the minimum score to enter counselling. The closing rank is the last (highest-numbered) All India Rank that actually secured a particular OBG seat at a particular college in a given round — that is the number that decides admission.
Which authority handles OBG counselling?
50% of seats (All India Quota) go through the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) at mcc.nic.in; the other 50% (state quota) are run by each state's own authority, with its own domicile and state-MBBS rules.
Can I get a government MS OBG seat with a mid-range rank?
It depends heavily on your state, category and quota. State-quota and DNB routes often open government or government-hospital OBG seats that All India Quota alone would not. The predictor checks both AIQ and every state for your exact rank.
How much does MD/MS OBG cost?
Indicatively, government tuition is modest (roughly Rs 0.5-1.5 lakh a year), private colleges run to several lakhs a year, and deemed universities are the highest, especially management/NRI seats. Stipend and bond vary widely too — verify exact figures per college in the predictor.
Is DNB OBG worth it compared to MS/MD?
For many candidates, yes. DNB OBG is a recognised qualification, seats are larger in number and often reachable at more accessible ranks, and tuition in NBEMS hospitals is usually nominal. Training quality depends on the hospital, so compare carefully.
Are AIIMS and PGIMER OBG seats filled from NEET-PG?
No. INI institutes (AIIMS, PGIMER, JIPMER) admit MD/MS through INI-CET, a separate exam. NEET-PG governs MAMC, LHMC and all other government, DNB, private and deemed OBG seats.
What documents do I need for OBG counselling?
Typically your NEET-PG scorecard, MBBS degree and internship certificate, medical registration certificate, ID proof, category certificate, and for state quota a domicile / state-MBBS certificate. Keep both AIQ and state sets ready.
When should I lock my OBG choices?
Only after mapping a realistic, wide list against your own rank and category. Fill safe, target and reach OBG options — never dream colleges alone — and confirm the order before you lock.
