- Each figure is the highest general rank among candidates of that community allotted to the college in Round 1 only. Upgrades and fresh allotments in later rounds can change the closing ranks.
- All India Quota seats of government colleges are filled by MCC and are not in this list.
- NEET marks change with each year’s paper, so judge your chances by rank.
