What will be the rank for 450 marks in NEET 2025?

The official NEET 2025 results and ranks will be declared by the National Testing Agency (NTA) by June 14, 2025. Therefore, any rank predictions before the official declaration are estimates based on various factors.

However, based on expert analysis and previous years' trends, for 450 marks in NEET 2025, your expected All India Rank (AIR) would likely fall in the range of approximately 90,000 to 1,79,500.

What to consider: 

• Exam Difficulty: Several experts have indicated that the NEET 2025 paper was tougher than in previous years. A tougher paper generally means that the same score might fetch a better rank compared to an easier paper, as the overall scores of all candidates might be lower.
• Number of Candidates: The number of students appearing also influences the ranks. While final figures are known after results, a larger pool of candidates can push ranks lower for the same score.
• Previous Year Trends: Analyzing past years' data helps in estimation. For instance, in NEET 2023, 450-400 marks corresponded to a rank range of approximately 1,26,733 – 1,77,959.

What does 450 marks usually mean for admissions?

1. Government MBBS Colleges (General Category): Securing an MBBS seat in a government medical college with 450 marks is generally very difficult for the General category, both under the All India Quota (AIQ) and most state quotas. These colleges typically require scores of 550-600+ for General category candidates.

2. Private MBBS Colleges: You might have chances for MBBS in private medical colleges or deemed universities, though these often come with significantly higher fee structures.

3. BDS (Dental) in Government Colleges: With 450 marks, especially for reserved categories (OBC/SC/ST) in some states, you might have a reasonable chance for a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) seat in a government college.

4. AYUSH Courses: This score is often sufficient for admission to various AYUSH courses like:

• BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery)
• BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery)
• BUMS (Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery)
• BVSc (Bachelor of Veterinary Science)

 To get the most accurate prediction once results are out:

• Use an official NEET Rank Predictor tool (many coaching institutes offer these) by entering your estimated marks and category.
• Wait for the official NEET 2025 result and rank card from NTA (neet.nta.nic.in).
• Refer to the previous year's cut-off ranks for the colleges and courses you are interested in (available on MCC and respective state counselling websites) to get a realistic idea of your admission chances.
