Conclusion
The All India Quota (AIQ) NEET PG counselling conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) plays a crucial role in allocating 50% of government medical and dental seats across India . Based on the closing ranks from Round-1 to the Stray Round, it is clear that clinical branches such as Radiology, Dermatology, and General Medicine remain the most competitive , with relatively lower closing ranks compared to other specialties.
Mid-range specialties like Paediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, General Surgery, and Orthopaedics generally close at moderate ranks, while Ophthalmology, ENT, and Respiratory Medicine tend to extend to higher ranks in later rounds and stray rounds.
The expected special stray round cutoffs indicate that candidates with higher ranks still have opportunities to secure seats, especially in the final counselling phases. Therefore, aspirants should carefully analyze previous closing ranks, keep multiple branch options open, and actively participate in all counselling rounds to maximize their chances of securing a postgraduate medical seat under the AIQ quota.
