Example: for Anaesthesiology, General Surgery, etc., some cutoffs in previous years are in low thousands to tens of thousands depending on category.

Reserved categories will see somewhat relaxed rank thresholds. For PG specialities, highly competitive branches (Dermatology, Radiology, etc.) will need high NEET PG scores / low rank numbers.
