Maharashtra plays an excellent role in the medical and health industry, there are many reputed medical institutes where most of the medical aspirants are looking for admission. More than 45 medical deemed colleges are located across the country, but a majority of these are in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu.
In our earlier reports, we analysed the deemed medical colleges of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. In this article, Careers360 analysed NEET lowest rank vs the number of seats, for the deemed medical colleges of Maharashtra offering the MBBS degree. Our initial observation is that, unlike Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, few of Maharashtra’s deemed medical colleges showed a decrease in National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) cutoff rank in 2021 from the previous year.
The cut-off rank, shown in this article, is the lowest rank of a college from Round 1 or Round 2 of admission process for general category students.
Ten deemed medical colleges in Maharashtra, mentioned below, have the same number of seats over the last three years but the NEET cut off rank is quite different every year.
Deemed colleges of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka showed an increase in cut-off rank with no relation with the change in the seats available each year. But in case of Maharashtra, NEET cut-off rank decreased in 2021 for four deemed medical colleges. The colleges were- MGM Medical College in Aurangabad, Mahatma Gandhi Mission Institute of Health Sciences in Navi Mumbai, Datta Meghe Medical College in Nagpur and Symbiosis Medical College for Women in Pune.
