• In previous years (2024), NEET UG closing ranks (General) in various rounds:

  • Round 1: ~ 4,511

PG & MD / MS Cutoffs

Some sample PG cutoff data (General category), as reported:

• For MD / MS / specialities, closing ranks in various rounds:

  Speciality	Round 1 / Closing Rank (General)

  MD General Medicine	39

These reflect national-level or institute-level ranks, depending on the reporting.

Given the high variability in medical admissions, applicants should always consult the latest counselling authority’s published cutoffs.

Placements & Career Outcomes

Because RIMS is a medical college, “placements” in the traditional corporate / campus recruitment sense are less relevant; instead, medical graduates typically go for:

• Clinical practice (hospitals, private clinics)

• Government medical jobs and postings

• Further specialization / academics / research

• Fellowships / super-specialty training

However, some signals on career outcomes:

• Some sources indicate that the average salary after PG training can be in the range of 15 lakh (INR) per annum (for certain specialities) in private / corporate hospitals. 

• For UG graduates who then perhaps join hospitals or further training, the salaries would vary greatly by region, specialization, experience, etc. 

• RIMS has a strong institutional reputation and clinical exposure due to its large hospital beds and case volume, which can help graduates in securing competitive roles or further training.

Because medical careers are more dependent on specialization, reputation, research, and network rather than “campus placements,” detailed placement statistics (number placed, companies, etc.) are rarely published.

Ranking & Reputation

• In 2025, ranked RIMS Ranchi as #129 nationally among medical colleges, and among the top 2 government medical colleges in Jharkhand. 

• RIMS was ranked 15th in the “medical college” category in India by NIRF in 2023 (per a source) 

• It enjoys a strong reputation in eastern India for being a key government medical institute, with high clinical exposure and relatively affordable fees.

• Strong clinical exposure due to large hospital infrastructure

• It’s crucial to verify recent official notices for fees, seat matrix, counselling process
