What is OPEN (General/Open)?
The OPEN (General) category in Maharashtra NEET counselling is available to all candidates regardless of caste, community, or religion. There is no reservation percentage for this category; instead, OPEN seats are filled purely on NEET All India Rank merit after reserved category seats are allocated. Any candidate from any background can compete for OPEN seats, making this the most competitive category with the lowest (best) closing ranks. No caste certificate or special documentation is required beyond the standard admission documents, domicile certificate (for Maharashtra state quota seats), and NEET scorecard.
The OPEN (General/Open) category has cutoff data available across 29 dental colleges in Maharashtra. This data covers 1 year of counselling from 2025. Closing ranks for this category range from 75,034 (most competitive) to 13,12,728 (least competitive).
