Cut-offs & Safe-Score Guide (2025 Admission Target)

Below are indicative targets drawn from recent trends at newer AIIMS campuses of comparable competitiveness. Use these to set realistic goals; final closing ranks/marks can move with paper difficulty and counselling dynamics.

MBBS – NEET-UG (All India Quota)

Category-wise target band (Marks out of 720 / AIR)

How to read this:

• Hitting the upper end of your band greatly improves the odds in Round-1.

• If the paper is tougher, closing marks may dip (AIR becomes the truer barometer).

• Upward movement in later rounds is common if higher-rankers slide to their top-choice AIIMS/colleges.

Admission Process (Step-by-Step)

MBBS via NEET-UG

• Newer AIIMS like Bathinda are rapidly developing infrastructure, faculty strength, and case load.
