Estimate your NEET-UG All India Rank from your score using the score-to-rank relationship. NEET has ~20-24 lakh candidates; the rank you get determines your medical college options under MCC and state counselling.
What is NEET Rank?
NEET-UG is conducted by NTA for admission to MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, and veterinary courses across India. The paper is 720 marks (180 questions × 4 marks each, with −1 negative marking). NEET reports a raw score; the All India Rank is derived from where your score falls in the overall score distribution.
Approximately 20-24 lakh candidates appear annually. Total seats: ~1.1 lakh MBBS + 27K BDS + several AYUSH = ~1.5 lakh medical seats overall. Top ~10K rank typically gets government MBBS in top metros; top 50K covers most government seats; rank 50K-2L covers private and AYUSH options.
How NEET rank is derived from score
NEET rank is determined by your raw score against the score distribution of all candidates. Higher score = lower (better) rank. Unlike JEE Main's percentile system, NEET ranks directly from raw scores. Tie-breakers: higher biology score, then chemistry, then fewer wrong answers, then older candidate.
Score-to-rank relationship is approximate and changes year to year based on overall difficulty. A 700+ score has historically meant top 100 rank; 650+ around top 1000; 600+ around top 5000; 550+ around top 15K; 500+ around top 50K. Each year shifts these bands by ±10-20%.
How to use this calculator
Enter your raw NEET score (out of 720)
From your NTA NEET scorecard. Total marks = 4 × correct − 1 × incorrect. Maximum 720.
Pick the exam year
Score-to-rank mapping varies by year because of paper difficulty and candidate count. The calculator uses recent years' distribution as the basis.
Read estimated rank band + likely college options
Calculator gives a rank band (e.g., 1500-2500) and notes typical college options at that rank under MCC central counselling.
When to use it
Government MBBS feasibility
Government MBBS seats fill up to about rank 25,000 (general category, across all states). Calculator shows whether your score puts you in this band.
AIIMS / JIPMER tier prediction
AIIMS Delhi typically closes by rank ~50 (general). Other AIIMS by ~500. JIPMER by ~150. Calculator helps you set expectations during choice filling.
State quota vs All India quota
85% of government MBBS seats are state quota; 15% All India. Your home state cutoff is usually 1.5-2× more generous than All India cutoff at the same college.
Common mistakes to avoid
Comparing rank to college cutoff without category context
Cutoffs differ by category. A rank-15000 general candidate has different options than a rank-15000 OBC-NCL or rank-15000 SC. Always check the cutoff specific to your category.
Treating last year's cutoff as binding
College cutoffs shift with overall difficulty. Use 2-3 years of historical data when choice-filling, not just last year.
