AIIMS New Delhi NEET UG Cutoff 2025 - Category-Wise Ranks, Scores & Trends

AIIMS New Delhi, ranked #1 in NIRF Medical Rankings for nine consecutive years, is the most competitive medical college in India for MBBS admissions. With only 125 MBBS seats and over 24 lakh NEET UG applicants, the closing rank for General category typically stays below AIR 50. Since 2020, all admissions are through NEET UG conducted by NTA, with counseling managed by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) under the All India Quota (AIQ). The AIIMS-specific entrance exam was discontinued after merger with the central NEET system.

NEET UG 2024 Cutoff - Category-Wise (MCC AIQ Round 1)

Note: Scores are approximate based on rank-score mapping. Actual cutoff marks vary slightly by year based on paper difficulty and normalization.

Year-Wise NEET UG Cutoff Trend - General Category

The trend shows remarkable stability in closing ranks despite significant growth in NEET applicants - from 16 lakh (2021) to 24 lakh (2024). This reflects AIIMS Delhi's unmatched prestige. The seat increase from 107 to 125 (2023) marginally eased cutoffs.

Round-Wise Cutoff Variation (2024)

Later rounds have slightly relaxed cutoffs as some candidates join other preferred institutes. However, even mop-up round cutoffs require AIR under 65 for General category - the variation is minimal given the extreme competitiveness.

NEET PG Cutoff for MD/MS at AIIMS Delhi

AIIMS Delhi MD/MS admissions are through INI-CET (Institute of National Importance Combined Entrance Test), not NEET PG. INI-CET is conducted twice yearly by AIIMS. The competition is equally fierce:

Clinical branches (Dermatology, Radiology, General Medicine) are the most competitive at AIIMS Delhi, requiring top 0.1-0.2 percentile in INI-CET.

How to Secure Admission at AIIMS Delhi

Step 1: Score 710+ in NEET UG (target AIR under 50 for General, under 300 for OBC). Step 2: Register for MCC AIQ counseling at mcc.nic.in. Step 3: Fill choices during the choice-filling window - list AIIMS Delhi as top preference. Step 4: Attend document verification and report to college within the stipulated timeline. The entire process from NEET results to admission takes approximately 3-4 months (August-November). There is a 1-year compulsory bond service in a government hospital after completing MBBS.

AIIMS Delhi vs Other Top Medical Colleges - Cutoff Comparison

AIIMS Delhi requires approximately 3.5× better rank than JIPMER and 16× better than CMC Vellore. The gap is disproportionate to the seat count - it is the AIIMS brand, faculty reputation, and Delhi location that drive the extreme competition.

Key Insights for NEET Aspirants

Securing AIIMS Delhi requires consistent top-0.003% performance in NEET UG. Approximately 70-80 students out of 24+ lakh test-takers receive admission each year in General category. The key strategy is: (1) target 710+ marks, (2) focus on NCERT-based preparation, (3) practice with NTA mock tests, and (4) have realistic backup preferences. Students from SC/ST/OBC categories have meaningfully better chances with closing ranks of 4,000-12,000. EWS category cutoff (AIR ~150) is nearly as competitive as General.
