JIPMER PG 2026 Cut Offs

The JIPMER (Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education & Research) conducts its postgraduate admissions for MD/ MS/ MDS and DM/ M.Ch. courses through the INI CET (Institute of National Importance Combined Entrance Test) and INI SS examinations. The cut-off marks for JIPMER PG 2026 will be a critical factor determining which candidates qualify for counselling and seat allotment.

Cut-offs represent the minimum marks or ranks required by candidates to be eligible for admission, varying across categories, courses, and sessions. Understanding the JIPMER PG cut-offs helps aspirants assess their competitive standing and plan accordingly.

Overview of JIPMER PG 2026 Cut Offs:

• The JIPMER PG 2026 cut-offs will be based on the candidate's rank and percentile achieved in the INI CET or INI SS exams.
• Cut-offs differ by category (General/UR, OBC, SC, ST, PwBD) and by course (MD, MS, MDS, DM, M.Ch.).
• Cut-off scores and ranks depend on several factors including the number of candidates, difficulty level of the exam, seat availability, and reservation policies.

For 2026, the expected qualifying percentile cut-offs for INI CET are approximately:

• General/Unreserved (UR): 50th percentile
• OBC/EWS:45th percentile
• SC/ST/PwBD:40th percentile

Candidates below these percentiles typically do not qualify for counselling.

Expected Cut Off Ranks and Marks:

Based on recent trends and past years' data, the following table provide an indicative idea of the JIPMER PG 2026 cut-offs.

Cut-offs may vary across different specialties and rounds of counselling. 

Course-wise Cut Off Insights (Based on Previous Years):

• MD Radiodiagnosis:Highly competitive with cut-offs among the top ranks (approximately within top 50 for general category).
• MD General Medicine:Also competitive, ranks within top 100-200 usually suffice.
• MS Obstetrics & Gynecology / Pediatrics:Moderate competition, cut-off ranks vary between 150-500.
• Ch (Neurosurgery) and DM Courses:Cut-offs vary significantly based on super-specialty demand, sometimes within top 300 ranks.

Due to the integrated nature of the INI CET with other Institutes of National Importance, candidates must aim for ranks that are competitive not only for JIPMER but also for AIIMS, PGIMER, and NIMHANS.

Factors Influencing JIPMER PG Cut Offs:

• Number of Applicants:More candidates generally increase competition, raising cut-offs.
• Exam Difficulty Level:A tougher exam may lower cut-off marks but might have a limited effect on ranks.
• Seat Availability: JIPMER has allocated seats (around 249 MBBS seats previously, fewer PG seats) that influence percentile and rank-based cut-offs.
• Reservation Policies:Category-wise reservations for SC/ ST/ OBC/ EWS and PwBD affect cut-off
• Counselling Rounds:Cut-offs may vary between initial rounds and mop-up rounds.

Importance of Meeting the Cut Off:

• Meeting or exceeding the cut-off percentile is a prerequisite to qualifying for the counselling process.
• Failure to meet the cut-off means candidates will not be included in the merit list for seat allocation.
• Candidates who clear the cut-off need to actively participate in counselling, seat allotment, and document verification to secure admission.
