AIIMS Bathinda Cutoff 2026: NEET UG Round 2 Closing Rank 1,746

AIIMS Bathinda Cutoff 2026 is an important reference for candidates who appeared in NEET UG 2026 and are participating in MCC counselling for MBBS admission. The cutoff is released in the form of opening and closing All India Ranks (AIR) rather than marks. In Round 1, the General category closing rank was 1,630, while it moved to 1,746 in Round 2.

The article also covers category-wise cutoff ranks for General, OBC, EWS, SC and ST candidates, along with the opening and closing ranks for both rounds. Candidates can use these ranks to understand their admission chances at AIIMS Bathinda and compare their NEET rank with the latest allotment figures.

The article also explains how the cutoff changed between rounds, previous-year General category figures, important MCC counselling dates, and the steps to check the official cutoff. Since some ST figures require verification, candidates should confirm final ranks on the official MCC website before making admission decisions.

What Does “Cutoff” Mean for AIIMS MBBS? (Simple Explanation)

For AIIMS MBBS, the cutoff is not a marks number — it is a rank number. After NEET UG, every candidate gets an All India Rank (AIR). In MCC counselling, AIIMS Bathinda gives seats rank by rank, starting from the best rank. The Opening Rank is the best (smallest) rank that got a seat in that round, and the Closing Rank is the last (largest) rank that got a seat in that round. Remember: a smaller rank number is better. So if your AIR is equal to or smaller than the closing rank of your category, you had a seat chance in that round. For example, the General Round 1 closing rank is 1,630 — a General candidate with AIR 1,500 would have been inside the cutoff, while a candidate with AIR 1,700 would have been outside it in Round 1.

EWS 2,910 / 2,928
SC 18,819 / 18,819
ST 26,664 / 28,998 (see verification note below)
Note: These ranks are for Open / All India quota seats and are based on the MCC provisional seat allotment results, as reported by education portals. Please confirm final figures on mcc.nic.in before taking any big decision.

AIIMS Bathinda NEET Cutoff 2026 — Round 1 (Opening & Closing Rank)

Category Opening Rank / Closing Rank
General 404 / 1,630
OBC 1,189 / 2,190
EWS 1,259 / 2,910
SC 8,488 / 18,819
ST 9,977 / 26,664

AIIMS Bathinda NEET Cutoff 2026 — Round 2 (Opening & Closing Rank)

Category Opening Rank / Closing Rank
General 797 / 1,746
OBC 1,185 / 2,185
EWS 1,407 / 2,928
SC 8,488 / 18,819
ST 14,951 / 28,998 (verify)

Rank Movement — Round 1 to Round 2 (What Changed?)

Category Round 1 → Round 2 (Change in Closing Rank)
General 1,630 → 1,746 (+116)
OBC 2,190 → 2,185 (−5)
EWS 2,910 → 2,928 (+18)
SC 18,819 → 18,819 (0)
ST 26,664 → 28,998 (+2,334) (verify)
How to read this: A plus (+) number means the closing rank became larger, so slightly lower-ranked candidates also got a seat in Round 2 (usually because some seats opened up after Round 1 candidates moved to other colleges). A minus (−) number means the closing rank became slightly smaller. For General category, the closing rank moved up by 116 ranks, which is a small change — it shows the seat competition at AIIMS Bathinda stays very tight across rounds.

Important Verification Notes (Please Read)

  • ST Round 2 closing rank differs between sources: One report shows 28,998, while another report of the MCC Round 2 result shows 27,360. The other categories (General, OBC, EWS, SC) match across the sources we checked. ST candidates should check the exact figure on mcc.nic.in.
  • Round 3 figures are not final yet: Some portals already show a “reported” Round 3 General closing rank (around 1,632), but the Round 3 result date reported by the source is 26 October 2026, which is still ahead. Because of this, please treat any Round 3 number you see online right now as unconfirmed, and wait for the official MCC result.
  • Some third-party sites show different SC/ST numbers: A few smaller websites list very different SC and ST ranks for AIIMS Bathinda. For safety, rely on the MCC allotment result and the numbers that match across multiple sources.
  • These are closing ranks of provisional seat allotment — they show who got seats, not a fixed rule. Next year’s cutoff can be different.

Previous Year Reference — Is the 2026 Cutoff Higher or Lower?

Year / Round (General Category) Closing Rank
2026 — Round 1 1,630
2026 — Round 2 1,746
2025 — Round 1 About 1,732 to 1,733 (reported slightly differently by different portals)
2025 — Last Round 1,798
What this tells us: In 2026, the Round 1 General closing rank (1,630) is a little tougher (smaller number) than the 2025 Round 1 closing rank (about 1,733). This means a General candidate needed a slightly better rank this year to get the same seat in Round 1. Overall, AIIMS Bathinda has stayed in the range of roughly AIR 1,600 to 1,800 for General category in the last two years, so candidates should treat that range as the realistic “safe zone” boundary. These are reference numbers only and do not guarantee a seat in any future year.

Can I Get AIIMS Bathinda With My Rank? (Quick Guide)

  • General category: Candidates with AIR roughly up to 1,600 were inside the cutoff in Round 1, and up to about 1,750 in Round 2
  • OBC category: Candidates with category rank roughly up to 2,185 to 2,190
  • EWS category: Candidates with category rank roughly up to 2,910 to 2,930
  • SC category: Candidates with category rank roughly up to 18,800
  • ST category: Candidates with category rank roughly up to 26,600 in Round 1 (Round 2 figure should be confirmed on MCC)
  • If your rank is only slightly above these numbers, do not lose hope — seats can open up in later rounds, so keep AIIMS Bathinda in your choice list and keep participating in the next rounds
  • Always keep a few other good colleges in your choice list as a backup

Important: The category ranks above are the category-wise ranks used in counselling, not your General AIR. Use the rank that is shown in your NEET UG rank letter for your own category.

What Makes the Cutoff Go Up or Down Every Year?

  • NEET paper difficulty: An easier paper means more students score high, so the cutoff rank number can become bigger or smaller depending on how marks are spread
  • Number of candidates: More candidates mean more competition for the same limited seats
  • Number of seats: AIIMS seats are very limited, so even small changes in seat count can change the closing rank
  • Student choices: If top-rank students prefer other AIIMS campuses like Delhi, their seats at Bathinda may go to the next ranks in later rounds
  • Counselling round: Ranks usually shift between Round 1, Round 2 and later rounds as students accept, upgrade or leave seats

Tips for Candidates Whose Rank Is Close to the Cutoff

  • Do not panic if your rank is a little above the Round 1 closing rank — the Round 2 closing rank for General moved from 1,630 to 1,746, so later rounds can bring a second chance
  • Keep AIIMS Bathinda at a high position in your choice list, since seat allotment follows your choice order
  • Fill in many other options too (other AIIMS campuses, JIPMER, central university and state quota colleges) so you are not left without any seat
  • Check the official MCC round schedule regularly so you do not miss a registration, choice-locking or reporting date
  • Verify the cutoff numbers on mcc.nic.in rather than depending on only one website, since small differences can exist across portals
  • Keep all documents scanned and ready in advance, because reporting dates after allotment are short
