The NEET 2026 College Predictor helps you estimate which government and private medical colleges you may be eligible for, based on your expected NEET rank, category, and home state. Use it as a planning guide — actual seat allotment always depends on the official counselling round, available seats, and reservation policy that year.
A full interactive college predictor tool requires the official seat matrix, which NTA/MCC/State authorities release only after the result. Until then, use the rank-vs-admission-possibility table below for a realistic estimate, and check the Rank Predictor to estimate your AIR first.

Factors That Affect Your College Predictions
| Factor | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| NEET 2026 Marks / AIR | The single biggest factor — directly determines eligibility in any round. |
| Category (UR/OBC/SC/ST/EWS) | Reserved categories have separate, lower cutoffs and dedicated seat pools. |
| All India Quota vs State Quota | AIQ uses your overall AIR; State Quota uses your state-specific category rank. |
| Home State / Domicile | State quota and private college seats are usually restricted to domicile holders of that state. |
| PwBD Status | Persons with Benchmark Disability get horizontal reservation across all categories. |
| Round of Counselling | Cutoff ranks generally relax in later rounds (Round 2, Mop-Up, Stray Vacancy) as seats remain vacant. |

Frequently Asked Questions — College Predictor
All India Rank (AIR) is the overall rank among all NEET 2026 candidates regardless of category. Category Rank is the rank within a specific category (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, PwBD). The Category Rank is used for state quota and reserved category seat allotment. Both ranks are printed on the NEET scorecard. AIQ counselling uses AIR for General seats and Category Rank for reserved seats.
All India Quota (AIQ): 15% of Government medical college seats (not in private colleges), plus all AIIMS, JIPMER, ESIC, AFMC seats. Conducted by MCC on mcc.nic.in. Open to candidates from all states. State Quota: 85% of Govt. college seats + all seats in Private and Deemed Medical Colleges in the state. Conducted by respective State Authorities. Domicile/state residence certificate may be required for state quota.
