All India Institute of Medical Sciences - AIIMS Hyderabad | Cut-Off Details | Vidyavision

AIIMS Hyderabad, officially All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bibinagar, determines MBBS admissions solely through NEET UG scores via centralized Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) counseling for All India Quota (AIQ) seats, with no institute-specific entrance exam since 2020. Cutoffs represent the closing ranks (and corresponding scores) at which seats are allotted across multiple rounds, influenced by factors like NEET difficulty, seat matrix (~100 MBBS seats), candidate preferences, and reservations (15% SC, 7.5% ST, 27% OBC, 10% EWS, 5% PwD).

Admission Criteria

• Eligibility mandates qualifying NEET UG with 50% aggregate in Class 12 PCB (40% for SC/ST, 45% PwD), minimum 17 years age, and Indian citizenship.
• Seats fill via MCC's online AIQ counseling: registration, choice filling (prioritizing AIIMS Hyderabad), mock allotments, seat locking, and physical reporting with documents.
• No management quota exists; 100% merit-based.
• PG admissions (MD/MS) use INI CET cutoffs via institute counseling, while paramedical/BSc Nursing have separate exams or NEET scores.
• Tie-breakers favor age, fewer attempts, higher PCB marks.

Previous Year Cutoffs (NEET UG for MBBS)

• Cutoffs tightened in 2025 due to higher competition despite a slightly lower NEET top score (686 vs. 720 in 2024), with AIIMS Hyderabad ranking among mid-tier new AIIMS (closing ranks better than Rajkot/Bilaspur but below older ones like Bhopal/Jodhpur).
• Data below aggregates Round 1 to final round closing ranks for AIQ (no state quota for new AIIMS).
• Scores are approximate (NEET percentile-derived).

2025 Cutoffs (Last Round Closing Ranks)

Round 1 was more competitive (General: ~1,782), relaxing in mop-up/stray vacancy rounds. Female pool cutoffs slightly lower (e.g., OBC female: 3,500+).

2024 vs. 2023 Trends (General AIQ, Last Round)

OBC trends: 2025 (3,464), 2024 (~3,800), 2023 (~4,200)—steady improvement. SC/ST saw 10-15% rank hikes yearly as seat matrix stabilized at 100.

Exam-Wise and Category-Wise Trends

NEET UG Trends: As a newer AIIMS, cutoffs lag top ones (Delhi: <100 General) but lead bottom-tier (Rajkot: 5,000+). General ranks halved since 2023 (2,512→1,874), signaling rising prestige. Scores: 660+ safe for General (top 1-2%); OBC/EWS need 645+; reserved: 580+ viable.

Category Shifts: Reserved categories benefit most—SC/ST ranks 15-20x higher than General. PwD cutoffs generous (50,000+ ranks). 2025 saw EWS creep closer to General (gap narrowed 200 ranks).

Round-Wise Pattern:

• Round 1: 80% seats fill (tightest)
• Round 2/Mop-up: 10-15% drop
• Stray: 20-30% relaxation. EWS/SC often fill late.

Score vs. Rank Correlation (2025 NEET): 675+ (1-2,000 ranks); 650+ (2-4,000); 620+ (5-10,000); below 600 unlikely.

Factors Influencing Cutoffs

• Rising cutoffs reflect infrastructure upgrades (750-bed hospital nearing completion), faculty from top AIIMS, and Hyderabad's pharma ecosystem.
• 2026 predictions: General ~1,600-1,900 (assuming normalized NEET); monitor MCC for seat matrix hikes. Low 2025 NEET top score eased entry by 5-10 marks vs. expectations.
• High performers (AIR <2,000) have strong chances, but choice filling strategy is key—prioritize over older AIIMS if rank 1,500-3,000.

Preparation Tips

• Target 700+ for safety; analyze All India Rank via NTA predictor.
• Past data shows 98th percentile secures General seats.
• Candidates need to check mcc.nic.in post-NEET for provisional cutoffs.
• Physical fitness/anti-ragging affidavits mandatory at reporting.
