Admission Exams for Medical

How to use this ranking

  • Admission exams: NEET UG, NEET PG are the main national entrance exams. Many states also have their own tests — check the state page for local options.
  • A rank is not a ranking of your experience. NIRF measures the institution as a whole, not individual specialisations. A college ranked lower overall may still be stronger for the discipline you want.
  • Participation is voluntary. A good institution missing from this list may simply not have submitted data to NIRF — absence is not evidence of poor quality.
  • Check the year. These figures are from NIRF 2025. The next edition will update these rankings — this page will be refreshed when it is released.
