How to use this data

Start by checking where your expected NEET rank falls relative to the cutoffs above. If your rank is within 10-15% of a college’s closing rank, that college is worth listing in your preference order.

Pay attention to the round-by-round pattern. A college that fills in R1 at rank 20,000 but drops to 28,000 by the final round gives you a realistic shot if your rank is in the mid-20,000s. Conversely, colleges whose cutoffs tighten across rounds are harder to get into later.

Category-specific cutoffs matter. The reservation categories page in our Tamil Nadu category guide explains eligibility requirements and document checklists for each category.
