The NEET 2026 AIIMS cutoff will be officially known only after MCC counselling and seat allotment. Until then, students can use previous year trends to estimate safe marks and ranks. For AIIMS Delhi, students usually need a very high All India Rank, especially in the General and OBC categories. For other AIIMS campuses, the cutoff may go lower depending on category, seat availability, counselling round, and student preference.
The NEET 2026 AIIMS cutoff means the last rank or score at which a student gets an MBBS seat in an AIIMS campus through counselling.
It is important to understand one thing clearly: AIIMS cutoff is not just one number. It changes based on:
For example, AIIMS Delhi usually closes at a much higher rank than newer AIIMS campuses. A student aiming for AIIMS Delhi and a student aiming for AIIMS Madurai or AIIMS Deoghar should not use the same cutoff expectation.
As of the latest official status checked for this article, the NEET 2026 AIIMS admission cutoff has not been released. The AIIMS MBBS cutoff will be available only after counselling seat allotment rounds begin and MCC publishes the allotment results.
Students should avoid unofficial WhatsApp forwards, random rank charts, and “guaranteed AIIMS marks” claims. Use expected cutoff only for planning. Final decisions must be based on official NTA scorecard, All India Rank, category rank, MCC seat matrix, and counselling result.
The following table is only an expected planning range, not an official cutoff. Actual cutoff may change after NEET 2026 result, rank distribution, seat matrix, and counselling rounds.
| Category | Expected Safe Marks Range | Expected Rank Zone | Student Guidance |
| General / Open | 705–715+ | AIR 1–60 | Very high accuracy needed; even small mistakes matter |
| OBC-NCL | 700–710+ | Around AIR 50–250 | Strong chance only with top level rank |
| SC | 680–695+ | Around AIR 50–800 | Aim high; do not depend only on reservation |
| ST | 655–680+ | Around AIR 200–1,600 | Strong Biology and mistake control can make a major difference |
In the MCC NEET UG 2025 Round 1 allotment result, AIIMS New Delhi appeared from the very top ranks, with Rank 1 onwards allotted under Open Seat Quota. The same official allotment result shows AIIMS New Delhi seats continuing around ranks 40–48 under Open Seat Quota and then category-specific allotments such as OBC and SC appearing in subsequent ranks.
This may include AIIMS Jodhpur, AIIMS Bhopal, AIIMS Bhubaneswar, AIIMS Rishikesh, AIIMS Nagpur and similar high demand campuses.
| Category | Expected Safe Marks Range | Expected Rank Planning Zone |
| General / Open | 680–705 | AIR 100–1,700 |
| OBC-NCL | 670–695 | AIR 400–3,500 |
| SC | 630–670 | AIR 1,000–12,000 |
| ST | 600–650 | AIR 1,500–35,000 |
Students should remember that “top AIIMS” does not mean only Delhi. Many students prefer Jodhpur, Bhopal, Rishikesh, Bhubaneswar, Nagpur and other campuses due to academic reputation, hospital exposure, location, and counselling preference.
The table below contains the NEET cut off for AIIMS campuses for General category:
| College Name | Opening Rank | Closing Rank |
| AIIMS Delhi | 1 | 48 |
| AIIMS Jodhpur | 55 | 392 |
| AIIMS Bhopal | 148 | 634 |
| AIIMS Bhubaneswar | 60 | 785 |

| AIIMS Jammu | 930 | 10215 |
| AIIMS Rajkot | 93 | 7712 |
| AIIMS Madurai | 2126 | 16728 |
AIIMS cutoff changes because the exam and counselling ecosystem changes every year. A 680 score in one year may not mean the same rank in another year.
Important factors include:
This is why VVT Coaching advises students to track rank first, marks second.
The NEET 2026 AIIMS cutoff is important, but it should not become a source of fear. Use expected marks and rank only as a planning tool. Your real focus should be accuracy, consistency, mock test analysis, and smart counselling.
AIIMS is a high target, but even if your rank does not match AIIMS Delhi, many excellent AIIMS campuses and government medical colleges may still be possible depending on your category, score and counselling strategy.
Stay calm. Follow official updates. Prepare with discipline. Take guidance when needed.
