NEET SS 2025: what every group rank got, round by round

Read this first: NEET SS ranks are group-wise. A Medical group rank of 2,000 and a Surgical group rank of 2,000 are different things, so every tool here asks for your group. MCC’s Round 1 and Round 2 lists show no category column, so these trends cover all candidates together. 2025 ranks are a guide to how seats moved — not a prediction for 2026, when seats, applicants and choices will differ. AIIMS, JIPMER and PGIMER Chandigarh fill their seats through INI-SS, so they are not here.

Step 1 · Rank check

What did my group rank get in 2025?

Pick your group and enter your group rank. You will see every course and institute whose last 2025 allotment was at or beyond that rank, and in which round it reached that far.

Groups

How deep each group went

Seats allotted in each round, and the last group rank that got any seat. The stray round reached well past Round 1 in the large groups.

“R2 new” = upgrades plus fresh allotments in Round 2. A dash means no seat was allotted in that round.

Courses

Course-wise closing ranks, Round 1 → Stray

Typical rank is the median rank of everyone allotted that course in Round 1 — the best single sign of how much candidates wanted it. Last rank shows how far it went. Tap a course for its institutes.

DM / MCh vs DNB SS

Which did toppers pick: DM/MCh or DNB SS?

Same specialty, same group — the typical Round 1 rank for each degree. Lower typical rank = chosen by better-ranked candidates.

SpecialtyGroupDM / MCh typicalDNB SS typicalPreferred

Only specialties with at least 5 Round 1 seats in both degrees. Preference here reflects 2025 choices, which also depend on institute, city, fees, stipend and bond — not shown in MCC’s allotment lists.

Seat movement

What happened to Round 1 seats

MCC’s Round 2 list shows the fate of every Round 1 seat. Seats freed by upgrades, surrenders and no-shows are what later rounds offered.

Round 2 result for each candidate

“Did not fill fresh choices” candidates kept their Round 1 seat without trying for an upgrade. Fresh Round 2 allotments include candidates who held no Round 1 seat.

Frequently asked questions

Is NEET SS rank all-India or group-wise?

Group-wise. NBEMS ranks candidates separately in each question-paper group (Medical, Surgical, Paediatric, and so on), and MCC allots each group’s courses by that group rank. Compare your rank only with other ranks in the same group.

Where does this data come from?

From MCC’s official PDFs: NEET Super Speciality Counselling Seats Allotment 2025 — Round 1 (293 pages), Round 2 (460 pages) and the Special Stray Vacancy Round (47 pages). We read every row: 6,035 Round 1 allotments, 6,621 Round 2 records and 794 stray-round allotments.

What do “typical rank” and “last rank” mean?

Typical rank is the median group rank of everyone allotted a course in Round 1. Last rank is the highest (worst) group rank that got a seat in that round. A course can have a good typical rank and a deep last rank when a few less-preferred institutes fill late.

Can I use 2025 ranks to predict my 2026 seat?

Only as a guide. Seat numbers, the number of candidates in each group and their choices change every year. Use 2025 to see which courses and institutes were realistic around your rank, then confirm with the 2026 seat matrix on mcc.nic.in.

Why are AIIMS, JIPMER and PGIMER Chandigarh missing?

They admit DM/MCh candidates through the separate INI-SS examination, not through NEET SS. MCC’s NEET SS lists cover government medical colleges, deemed universities, central institutes such as PGIMER Dr. RML Hospital and VMMC Safdarjung, and NBEMS (DNB SS) hospitals.

Why is there no category (OBC/SC/ST/EWS) split?

MCC’s 2025 Round 1 and Round 2 super speciality allotment lists do not print a category column, so the trends here cover all candidates together.

Source: MCC (mcc.nic.in), NEET Super Speciality Counselling Seats Allotment 2025 — Round 1 (printed 17-03-2026), Round 2 (printed 13-08-2026), Special Stray Vacancy Round (printed 02-10-2026). Every serial number in all three lists was read (6,035 / 6,629 / 794 rows). Round 2 prints 8 candidates twice because they held ranks in two groups; each is counted once. Institute names are shortened from MCC’s address field. “Seats” means seats allotted in that round, not the seat matrix. MCC is the final authority; spotted an error? Write to whitecoatguru@gmail.com.
