NEET UG 2026 results were declared on July 16, 2026, and MBBS aspirants are now working out where their All India Rank places them among AIIMS Delhi, AIIMS Rishikesh, AIIMS Jodhpur and the rest of the AIIMS network. Since the official 2026 AIIMS admission cutoff will only emerge once MCC completes each counselling round, the most reliable starting point is the actual, verified closing rank data from the 2025 cycle. This live tracker lays out those real 2025 figures first, then explains how they translate into a realistic 2026 expectation, so the numbers here are grounded in confirmed MCC counselling outcomes rather than guesswork.
AIIMS Delhi: Verified 2025 Closing Rank
AIIMS New Delhi recorded a General category Round 1 closing rank of AIR 47 in the 2025 cycle, based on official MCC allotment data, with an opening rank around AIR 1. The OBC-NCL closing rank stood at 186 to 207, EWS closed between 214 and 265, SC closed around 644, and ST closed near 1,405 depending on the specific round referenced. These are confirmed historical numbers, not projections, and they illustrate just how narrow the margin is for a General category candidate targeting AIIMS Delhi.
| Category | Verified 2025 Closing AIR (AIIMS Delhi) | 2026 Expected Range |
|---|---|---|
| General (UR) | 47-48 | 45-70 |
| OBC-NCL | 186-207 | 195-400 |
| EWS | 214-265 | 200-265 |
| SC | 644 | 620-3,000 |
| ST | 1,405 | 1,350-9,000 |
AIIMS Rishikesh: Verified 2025 Closing Rank
AIIMS Rishikesh, one of the original six AIIMS built under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana, closed its General category seats at AIR 685 in the first round of 2025, opening around AIR 230 to 304. By the final round of counselling, the General category closing rank had moved to 816, reflecting the usual pattern of ranks loosening slightly as seats get reshuffled across later rounds. The OBC category closed between 1,077 and 1,104, SC closed between 7,924 and 8,240, and ST closed between 7,835 and 11,475. Compared with 2024, when the General category closed around AIR 700 to 750, 2025 competition tightened further at Rishikesh.
AIIMS Jodhpur: Verified 2025 Closing Rank
AIIMS Jodhpur, another of the original PMSSY campuses, closed considerably tighter than Rishikesh in the 2025 cycle, with a General category opening rank of AIR 55 and a closing rank of AIR 392. This places Jodhpur among the more competitive newer AIIMS campuses, generally regarded alongside AIIMS Bhopal as one notch below AIIMS Delhi in terms of demand. Category-wise closing rank data for Jodhpur, along with round-by-round trends, can be checked directly through the NEET Rank for AIIMS 2026 guide.
Other AIIMS Campuses: Verified 2025 General Category Closing Ranks
Beyond Delhi, Rishikesh and Jodhpur, the 2025 General category closing ranks varied widely across the rest of the AIIMS network. AIIMS Bhopal closed at AIR 524, AIIMS Bhubaneswar at AIR 706, and AIIMS Nagpur at AIR 862. At the more accessible end, AIIMS Madurai recorded the highest closing rank across all AIIMS campuses at AIR 3,597, making it the least competitive functional AIIMS for General category candidates that year. Campuses such as AIIMS Rajkot, AIIMS Patna and AIIMS Bathinda saw their closing ranks tighten compared to 2024, while AIIMS Madurai, AIIMS Bibinagar and AIIMS Mangalagiri saw theirs ease.
How 2025 Actuals Translate Into a 2026 Expectation
Turning verified 2025 numbers into a 2026 expectation requires accounting for a few concrete factors rather than assuming the ranks repeat exactly. Nearly 20 lakh candidates appeared for NEET UG 2026 this year, of whom 11.21 lakh qualified, a scale broadly comparable to previous cycles, which suggests AIIMS Delhi's closing rank is likely to stay in the same tight band of roughly AIR 45 to 70 for General category. The unusual two-exam cycle this year, with an original exam cancelled and a re-exam conducted on June 21, does not change the underlying seat count at any AIIMS campus, since seat matrices are fixed independently of how many attempts a cohort needed to sit the exam.
Reservation Applies Fully at Every AIIMS
Every AIIMS campus, including Delhi, Rishikesh and Jodhpur, applies the standard central government reservation matrix in full: 27 percent for OBC-NCL, 15 percent for SC, 7.5 percent for ST, and 10 percent for EWS, with horizontal PwD reservation within each category. All AIIMS seats fall under 100 percent All India Quota, so there is no state domicile requirement anywhere in the network, and a candidate's category rank, not just their overall AIR, is what actually determines their AIIMS allotment.
Where the 2026 Counselling Process Stands Right Now
The NEET UG 2026 result and qualifying cutoff have been declared at neet.nta.nic.in, but MCC has not yet released the official Round 1 registration schedule as of this update. Coaching analysts and past-cycle patterns point to registration opening in the last week of July or the first half of August 2026, running across four rounds through to around October 2026, though these remain projections and not confirmed dates. Candidates should rely only on the official MCC counselling portal for the confirmed schedule rather than any third-party estimate, including the ranges discussed in this article.
