Yes. Use our free NEET rank predictor at myrankpredict.online to estimate your rank from your marks. Then match your rank against the state wise college tables on this page.

Q: What is FREEZE FLOAT and SLIDE in NEET counselling?

FREEZE means you accept your current allotted seat. FLOAT means you want to try for a better college in subsequent rounds. SLIDE means you want a better branch in the same college. Choose carefully as FREEZE is permanent for that round.

Q: What NEET marks are needed for AIIMS Delhi 2026?

AIIMS New Delhi historically requires a NEET rank between 1 to 50 for general category. This translates to approximately 700+ marks out of 720. It is the most competitive MBBS seat in India.

Q: Is private MBBS worth it with a low NEET rank?

Private MBBS fees range from 50 lakhs to 1.5 crore for the full course. Government MBBS fees are under 1 lakh total. If your rank qualifies for government MBBS in any state through state quota, always prefer government over private.

Q: How does state domicile help in NEET counselling?

State domicile gives you access to 85% state quota seats at lower cutoff ranks. A rank of 80,000 may not qualify for AIQ government MBBS but can qualify for government MBBS in your home state through state quota.
