What Is the Expected GMCH Guwahati NEET Cutoff for 2026?
Since the official GMCH Guwahati NEET cutoff 2026 is yet to be released, the expected ranks are based on trends from previous years. Here is the expected NEET cutoff rank range for MBBS under the All India Quota (AIQ) for 2026.
The following expected closing ranks give candidates a realistic target to work with before the official figures come out.

| General | 11,000 – 14,000 |
| EWS | 27,000 – 33,000 |
| OBC | 24,000 – 29,000 |

These ranges are indicative and based on the direction the cutoff has moved between 2023 and 2025. The actual 2026 cutoff will depend on seat availability, total applicant count, and the difficulty level of NEET UG 2026.
If GMCH is one of your target medical colleges, structured preparation can make a major difference in reaching these competitive scores and ranks. Students can explore NEET coaching in Guwahati for classroom guidance, test practice, doubt support, and focused NEET preparation.
What Was the GMCH Guwahati NEET UG Cutoff in 2025—Round 1 and Last Round?
The 2025 data is the most relevant reference point for understanding where the NEET cutoff currently stands. For MBBS admission under the All India Quota, here is how Round 1 and the last round closing ranks compared in 2025.
| Programme | Round 1 Closing Rank | Last Round Closing Rank |
| MBBS | 7,008 | 12,093 |
So the General category last round closing rank for MBBS under AIQ in 2025 was 12,093. For OBC under the same quota, the last round closing rank stood at 26,996. This clearly shows that the general category cutoff is more competitive compared to OBC for MBBS admission under the All India Quota at GMCH Guwahati.
How Has the GMCH Guwahati NEET Last Round Closing Rank Changed Over the Years?
