NEET Cutoffs & Admission Trends

Below are known / reported cutoffs for OMC Hyderabad and what to expect for 2025:

Quota / Type Reported / Known Cutoff Notes / Trend
AIQ (All India Quota) – MBBS – General Round 2 closing rank ~ 4,318 for General category This is reported as the 2025 Round 2 AIQ closing rank for MBBS at OMC. 
AIQ – OBC (MBBS) Round 2 closing rank ~ 7,039 (reported)

Expected 2025 Trends:

  • For MBBS General AIQ and State Quota, the closing ranks may remain in the low thousands, given OMC’s prestige.

  • Higher-demand branches (e.g. Radiology, Cardiology, Dermatology) in PG / super-specialty will have very stringent cutoffs.

  • Reserved categories (OBC / SC / ST / EWS) will see relatively relaxed cutoff ranks, but still competitive.


Placements & Career Outcomes

Being a well-established medical college connected with major hospitals, OMC has a stronger track record in placements (especially for PG / specialist recruitment) compared to newer colleges.

Some reported / inferred stats:

  • For PG students, placement or absorption in hospitals, academic roles, clinical services, and research is relatively robust given the institution’s reputation.

  • Some sources mention that 24 UG students had a median package of ~ INR 7 LPA, and 324 PG students had median ~ INR 16.25 LPA in recent years (though verify with updated institutional data). 

  • Top recruiters include major hospitals, government health departments, private clinics, and academic / research institutes.

  • Internship during MBBS is mandatory and gives hands-on exposure in OMC’s teaching hospital.

Because medicine is different from many fields, “placement” is partly measured in postgraduate seats obtained, hospital appointments, research positions, etc., rather than just a campus recruitment.


Ranking & Reputation

  • OMC Hyderabad is ranked 48th among medical colleges in India as per NIRF (2024) and maintains a strong position. 

  • It is considered among the top medical colleges in Telangana and has historical prestige, strong alumni, and clinical exposure.

  • It features in rankings by India Today, The Week, etc. in medical college assessments.
