Medicine & Health Sciences

Hi.

A rank of 1000 in NEET PG places you in a strong but competitive position for MD General Medicine (often referred to as MS in Medicine colloquially) at Government Medical College (GMC), Nagpur.

Based on 2024 and 2025 cutoff data, your chances depend significantly on which quota and category you belong to:

1. All India Quota (AIQ) - 50%

Under AIQ, the competition is extremely tight for General Medicine at top-tier colleges like GMC Nagpur.

• General Category:  2025 Round 2 Closing Rank: 997

  • 2024 Round 2 Closing Rank: 537

  • Verdict: You are right on the borderline. While you might miss out in Round 1, you have a solid chance in Round 2 or the Mop-up rounds.

• OBC Category:

  • 2025 Round 2 Closing Rank: 1789

  • Verdict: Highly Likely. You should comfortably secure a seat in early rounds.

• EWS Category:

  • 2025 Round 2 Closing Rank: 1538

  • Verdict: Highly Likely.

2. Maharashtra State Quota (SQ) - 50%

If you are a Maharashtra domicile student or completed your MBBS from the state, your chances improve drastically.

• General Category: Historically, the state rank equivalent for AIR 1000 is well within the range for GMC Nagpur.

• Verdict: Very Strong Chance. In 2024/2025, state quota ranks for Medicine at GMC Nagpur often stretched beyond 1500 AIR for open category students.

Hi.

• After the NIPER JEE exam (typically held in June), the results and merit lists for M.S. (Pharm.)/M.Pharm are usually released in late June.

  • For example, for the 2025 cycle, results and merit lists were published on 21 June 2025.

• For the 2026 cycle, results are expected to be released a few weeks after the exam, following the same pattern (result dates are often announced on the official NIPER JEE site shortly after the exam).

Counselling

• Counselling for MS Pharma/M.Pharm admissions usually occurs after the results are declared:

  • In the 2025 cycle, counselling was scheduled on 20–21 July 2025 based on rank lists.

  • These sessions are organized by the NIPER JEE conducting authority and involve seat allotment for qualified candidates.

• For 2026 admissions, once the NIPER JEE results are announced (typically late June or early July), the counselling schedule will be published shortly thereafter on the niper.gov.in portal.
