The AP NEET PG cutoff is the closing rank, meaning the last rank that received a seat in a particular course, under a particular quota, category and college.

Counselling is split between two bodies. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) handles the 50% All India Quota (AIQ) seats in government medical colleges. NTRUHS manages admissions under the state quota and other notified quotas. Closing ranks change every year depending on seat availability, reservation rules, candidate preferences, the number of counselling rounds and overall competition.

Factors Affecting AP NEET PG Cutoff 2026

• Seat availability: More seats in a branch or quota usually push the closing rank higher.
• Reservation criteria: Category-wise reservations decide which rank list your rank competes in.
• Quota and local area: Non-Service or Service, AU Local, SVU Local or AP Unreserved, and the management quotas each close at different ranks.
• Candidate preferences: Popular branches and colleges fill early and close at lower ranks.
• Counselling rounds: Closing ranks shift between Round 1, Round 2, Mop-up and the Stray Vacancy Round as seats are surrendered and re-allotted.
• Competition: The number of candidates competing for the same branch changes the cutoff each year.

How to Calculate NEET PG Cutoff 2026

The qualifying cutoff is a percentile, converted by NBEMS into a score out of 720. Your percentile shows how many candidates you scored higher than:

Percentile = (Candidates scoring at or below you ÷ Total candidates who appeared) × 100

For 2026, the General / EWS cutoff is the 50th percentile (262 marks), General PwBD is the 45th percentile (244 marks) and SC / ST / OBC is the 40th percentile (226 marks). Clearing these makes you eligible for AP counselling; your rank then decides the seat.
