    How Will Analysing State-Wise Qualified Candidates Will Help NEET Aspirants?

    The knowledge of NEET state-wise result statistics is important for medical aspirants. The NEET counselling is conducted by the MCC for 15% All India Quota seats however, state authorities conduct counselling for 85% state quota seats. State quota plays an important role in the final admission. Admissions under the state quota seats depend highly on the number of qualified candidates competing within the state. This means states with a higher number of qualified candidates witness tough competition for government medical colleges, resulting in higher closing ranks.

    Rajasthan is consistently witnessing high qualification rates, which implies a larger number of candidates competing for the available MBBS seats 2026. Similarly, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra have huge candidate pools. With a larger number of qualified candidates, these states also witness high closing ranks for government colleges.
