Maharashtra NEET PG 2026: Maximum Rank Movement

The data indicates a major upward trend in the State Merit List (SML) closing ranks for Orthopedics over the Indian states’ counseling rounds, showing that the cut-offs widen to draw in more students. Vedanta Medical College saw the highest upward shift as its closing rank increased from 944 in Round 1 to 2,816.1 in Round 3, which is an increase of +1,872.1 points. Similarly, BK Walawal and MIMSR also had massive growths, at +1,086 and +724 respectively. In comparison, institutions like NEP Salve did not have much change when the data remained constant. This is a sign that applicants with low merit positions have more chances of admission in later rounds of admission.

Maharashtra NEET PG 2026: Minimum Rank Movement

The data shown here signifies the highly competitive nature and narrow movement of ranks of Orthopaedics in the top government colleges of Maharashtra between Round 1 and Round 3. Initially, the cutoff ranks at these top colleges are very stringent, as seen in GSMC’s Round 1 closing rank of only 12. The movement of ranks remains minor even in comparison with other non-medical/ private colleges, where some changes take place during the counseling process. For example, GMC, Nagpur experiences a change of rank by +115 (with 78 becoming 193) and GSMC has a movement of +52.1.
