Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research

What are the cutoffs for Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research in 2026?

Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research (SRIHER), Chennai, admits students entirely on NEET scores: NEET UG decides MBBS and BDS seats, while NEET PG decides MD, MS and other postgraduate medical seats. For the most recent fully published cycle, the NEET UG MBBS 2024 General category closing rank at this deemed university reached as high as 322647 (across counselling rounds, with earlier rounds closing near 236028 and 313535), while BDS 2024 General closed at an All India Rank of 1034869. At the postgraduate level, the sought-after MD seats in 2024 closed for General candidates between 3857 and 15274 depending on the specialty, and MS seats between 20030 and 22648. As a private deemed institution ranked 20th in Medical and 10th in Dental in NIRF 2024, SRIHER admits candidates at notably more relaxed ranks than government medical colleges, so a NEET UG score that places you within roughly the top 3 lakh ranks gives a realistic shot at MBBS here, and the top 8,000-15,000 NEET PG ranks are competitive for its premium MD branches.

The sections below present SRIHER's actual closing ranks year-wise and course-wise, drawn from the institute's 2024 NEET counselling data, so you can judge your own admission chances rather than read a generic explainer.

Year-Wise Cutoff Trends (2024-2026)

This table tracks how the NEET closing ranks at Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research have moved across recent admission cycles. It answers the core question every aspirant asks: "Has the SRIHER cutoff become tougher or easier?" Read each row as the last rank at which a seat was allotted in the General category for that programme and year, where a smaller number means tougher competition. The 2025 figures reflect the management/paid-seat closing ranks published for that cycle, while 2024 and 2023 are the General category closing ranks for MBBS and BDS.

The clearest takeaway is that SRIHER's MBBS General cutoff has hovered in the 2.3 lakh to 3.3 lakh closing-rank band across 2023, 2024 and the 2025 management seats, showing only mild loosening rather than a sharp swing. BDS remains the most accessible route, with its General closing rank actually tightening from 1205726 in 2023 to 1034869 in 2024 as more candidates competed for dental seats. The postgraduate ranks are in a completely different league: MD branches such as Radiodiagnosis closing near 3857 in 2024 are roughly a hundred times more competitive than the undergraduate MBBS cutoff.

Course-Wise Cutoff at Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research

Because SRIHER runs distinct undergraduate and postgraduate medical streams, a single "cutoff" number is misleading. This table breaks the 2024 General category closing ranks down programme by programme so you can match your NEET rank to a specific course. The first two rows cover NEET UG (MBBS and BDS), and the remaining rows cover NEET PG MD and MS specialties, where the closing rank varies enormously by how popular the branch is. Use it to spot which programme your rank realistically qualifies for.

The course-wise view shows that at Sri Ramachandra, your choice of programme matters as much as your raw rank. MBBS opens up to candidates within roughly the top 3.2 lakh NEET UG ranks and BDS to those inside about 10.3 lakh, whereas the MD seats close between 3857 and 15274 and MS seats between 20030 and 22648 in NEET PG terms. In short, MD branches like Radiodiagnosis are the toughest tickets at SRIHER, MS branches are comparatively more attainable among postgraduate options, and BDS is the easiest entry overall.

Cutoff Trend Analysis

The SRIHER cutoff trend is broadly stable with a slight easing at the undergraduate level and intensifying competition at the postgraduate level. For MBBS, the General closing rank moved from 270532 in 2023 to a range topping out at 322647 in 2024, and the 2025 management seats closed as high as 333238, meaning the last admitted rank has drifted slightly higher (numerically larger, hence marginally easier) rather than tightening. This is consistent with SRIHER being a high-fee private deemed university where MBBS tuition runs to roughly Rs 25-30 lakh per year, which naturally caps the pool of applicants and keeps the closing rank in the 2.3-3.3 lakh band rather than near government-college levels.

BDS tells a different story: its General closing rank tightened from 1205726 in 2023 to 1034869 in 2024, reflecting growing demand for the institute's 100 dental seats backed by its NIRF 2024 Dental rank of 10. At the postgraduate level, competition is fierce and steady, with premium MD branches such as Radiodiagnosis closing near 3857-8851 in 2024 and MS surgical branches around 20030-22648. Realistically, an aspirant targeting MBBS at Sri Ramachandra should aim for a NEET UG All India Rank inside roughly 3 lakh to be comfortable, a BDS hopeful should stay within about 10 lakh, and an MD aspirant for the marquee branches needs a NEET PG rank in the top 8,000-15,000 to be in contention.
