Factors Affecting Arunachal Pradesh NEET PG Cutoff 2026
- Difficulty of NEET PG 2026: a tougher paper lowers scores and changes rank distribution.
- Number of candidates and seats: more seats in a branch push the closing rank higher.
- Reservation category: State Open, Institutional, In-Service and PwD seats close at different ranks.
- Branch preference: Radio Diagnosis, General Medicine and Paediatrics close early, while pre-clinical and para-clinical branches close very late.
- All India Quota vacancies: seats left vacant in AIQ flow into the later state rounds.
- Number of rounds: closing ranks keep moving through Round 2, Round 3 and the stray rounds.
How to Calculate NEET PG Cutoff 2026
NEET PG percentile = (number of candidates who scored less than or equal to you ÷ total number of candidates who appeared) × 100.
Compare your percentile or score with the qualifying cutoff given above. Your Arunachal Pradesh state merit rank then decides which branch you can get in the counselling.
How to Use the Arunachal Pradesh NEET PG Cutoff
- Note your All India Rank and category. Rank matters more than marks.
- Apply on the DMET portal before the deadline. Without a valid DMET application, you cannot take part in state counselling, whatever your rank.
- Shortlist your branches. Compare your rank with the 2025 closing ranks above and mark each branch as safe, possible or a stretch.
- Allow a margin. With a small seat base, treat a closing rank close to your rank as a stretch rather than a safe option.
- Check the quick estimate with the NEET PG college predictor and branch predictor.
- Compare the full cost of each quota: fee, stipend, and any bond.
- Prepare two lists: one for MCC and one for DMET counselling, since the rules and dates differ.
- Fill and lock your choices carefully. Unlocked choices may not be considered.
