Introduction
Your NEET rank is out. You’ve refreshed the screen a dozen times. Now comes the part no one warned you about — figuring out which college you can actually get into.
With hundreds of MBBS colleges accepting NEET scores, comparing cutoffs can feel like solving a puzzle with too many pieces. This blog makes it simpler. We’ve compiled the NEET 2025 closing ranks for four widely targeted colleges — AIIMS Patna, Bharati Vidyapeeth Medical College Pune, Government Medical College (GMC) Surat, and Amrita School of Medicine Kochi—so you can build a smarter preference list before counselling begins.
Important: Cutoff ranks here are based on the latest available 2025 MCC seat allotment data. Always verify the most current figures directly at mcc.nic.in before finalising your choices.
What Do NEET Closing Ranks Actually Tell You?
A closing rank is the All India Rank (AIR) of the last candidate admitted in a given round and category. The lower the rank number, the more competitive that seat. Cutoffs vary by category (General, OBC, EWS, SC, ST), by quota (All India Quota vs. State Quota), and by counselling round. What closes at rank 5,000 in Round 1 may push to 8,000 by the final Stray Vacancy Round. Always track multiple rounds — not just Round 1.
AIIMS Patna — NEET Cutoff 2025
AIIMS Patna is a government Institute of National Importance under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, offering 125 MBBS seats. All seats fall under the All India Quota via MCC counselling — there is no state quota here.
In 2025, the MBBS closing rank for the General category under the AI Quota was 1,537 to 4,952 in Round 4. The NEET UG 2025 cutoff for the OBC category at AIIMS Patna is 2,132.

BVMC Pune is a private deemed college. The wide closing rank band means students with ranks well beyond 50,000 still have a realistic path to MBBS but the annual fee is a significant consideration.
Government Medical College, Surat — NEET Cutoff 2025
Firstly, GMC Surat is one of Gujarat’s most respected government medical colleges, established in 1964 and affiliated with Veer Narmad South Gujarat University. MBBS admissions happen through two routes: 15% All India Quota (MCC) and 85% State Quota (ACPUGMEC, Gujarat).
Furthermore, during the GMC Surat MBBS cutoff 2025, the Round 3 closing rank stood at 5,503 for students belonging to the General AI quota. Similarly, for the OBC AI category, the Round 3 cutoff rank stood at 8,149.
As per GMC Surat NEET Cutoff 2025, the overall cutoff for MBBS programmes in Round 3 for AI Quota is 3,869 to 3,84,963 across all categories.

| SC | — | ~65,000 |
| ST | — | ~90,000 |

For Gujarat State Quota seats, the State Quota cutoff is usually lower than the AIQ cutoff since state quota is open only to Gujarat domicile candidates, resulting in less competition — typically closing 10–30 marks lower than AIQ for the same category.

Government vs. Private — What the Numbers Are Really Saying
The cutoff gap between these four colleges tells you something important about how the medical admission system works. AIIMS Patna and GMC Surat are government seats — heavily subsidised, extremely competitive, and accessible to a very small band of top rankers. For the General category, you need to be inside the top 6,000 in the country to have a real shot at either.
Private deemed universities such as Bharati Vidyapeeth and Amrita Kochi usually close admissions at much higher ranks. This indicates lower competition for seats, but the trade-off is significantly higher fees, often exceeding ₹1 crore for the entire MBBS program.
For example, a student in the General category with a rank around 1,50,000 would have almost no realistic chance of securing admission at AIIMS Patna or GMC Surat. However, that same student could still have viable admission opportunities at these private deemed medical colleges.
The right college is not always the most competitive one. It is the one that fits your rank, your budget, and the career you’re building toward.
