- All India Quota (15%) counselling by MCC (Medical Counselling Committee)
- State-level counselling (85%) by respective state medical authorities
Top medical colleges like AIIMS, JIPMER, AFMC, and state government institutions will be opening their admissions based on NEET ranks.
Students are advised to:
- Regularly check the MCC and respective state websites for counselling schedules.
- Keep scanned copies of documents (scorecard, ID proof, category certificate, etc.) ready for uploading.
- Research available government and private colleges based on their scores and expected cutoffs.
Expert View: Why State-Wise Stats Matter
Experts believe that state-wise performance gives deep insight into regional disparities in education infrastructure. While some states dominate due to access to top coaching centers and educational schemes, others may lag due to limited resources.
However, the growing number of qualified candidates from states like Odisha, Jharkhand, and J&K reflects progress toward inclusive access to medical education.
Final Words
The NEET UG 2025 results have once again highlighted the growing competition and rising academic aspirations across India. With over 12 lakh students qualifying, it’s clear that India is heading toward a more inclusive and medically aware youth population.
Now begins the most crucial phase — choosing the right college and navigating the counselling process smartly. We wish all students the best in their journey to becoming future doctors of India.
