Top Medical Colleges in India - NIRF Ranking 2023

NEET is a national-level competitive exam taken by lakhs of ambitious medical aspirants on a yearly basis. The competition is high because it is the medical entrance exam that acts as a gateway to some of the most reputed medical/dental institutions across the nation. The entrance exams by AIIMS, JIPMER and CMC Vellore were scrapped following the introduction of NEET. Also, the exam is a must for any Indian or foreign candidate to study dental, medical or AYUSH courses in India. It is also required for Indian candidates to pursue medicine abroad.

NEET Counselling

Knowing top medical institutes is useful during the counselling process. Another important factor to keep in mind is the cut-off. NEET aspirants should be aware of the previous cut-off trends before taking the exam. Knowing the cut-offs of each and every top medical college in India is vital to proceed with counselling.

Candidates with qualifying marks can proceed to round 1 of counselling. If the candidates are unhappy with the allotted seats, they can proceed to the next round (round 2). Finally, all the leftover vacant seats will be filled through a NEET mop-up round. These 3 rounds are conducted by the MCC (Medical Counselling Committee). There is a further 4th round called ‘stray vacancy round’ conducted by the respective Central/Deemed Universities/JIPMER/AIIMS. The MCC is not responsible for any incorrect or wrong seat allotment in this round. Also, once the seats are accepted by the candidates, they cannot be surrendered or declined.

The last set of closing marks and cut-off ranks are provided in this round. It is followed by a mop-up round where all the remaining qualified and waitlisted candidates can participate.

Another point to note is that 15% of dental and medical seats are reserved under the AIQ (All India Quota). The remaining 85% of seats come under the state quota. The number of medical institutes participating in AIQ counselling has significantly increased this year.

Every NEET aspirant must know all these data along with their syllabus and exam pattern. This information is vital to set the goals clear. Also, while taking mock tests, aspirants must make sure they score well within the last year’s cut-off. It is always better to have a target mark set ready before taking any exams.

Your productivity is not just decided by your intelligence, it is decided by your focused effort, planning and commitment. Thus work hard to secure your seats in the desired medical institutions anywhere across the nation.
