The Haryana NEET UG Round 1 counselling results have brought a change in the cutoff scores for medical colleges across the state. This year several government medical colleges have recorded cutoffs compared with the previous year while private medical colleges have shown different trends across State Quota, Management Quota and Open/Other categories.
In this analysis we take a look at the Haryana NEET UG Round 1 cutoff trends for government and private medical colleges along with the changes compared with the previous years cutoffs.
Government Medical Colleges in Haryana: Round 1 Cutoff
The trend in Haryanas government medical colleges has been upward compared with last year. Most colleges have witnessed an increase in their Round 1 closing scores.

What does the government college trend indicate?
The data clearly indicates a rise in the Round 1 cutoff across all government medical colleges in Haryana.
For example ESIC Medical College moved from a cutoff of around 572 to 610 while Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College increased from 563 to 599.
Similarly BPS Medical College increased from 552 to 585. Maharaja Agrasen Medical College moved from 546 to 584.
The introduced Pandit Neki Ram Sharma Government Medical College also recorded a Round 1 cutoff of around 581 marks making it an important college to watch in subsequent counselling rounds.
Overall candidates seeking government MBBS seats in Haryana should expect competition, particularly at the more established government institutions.
Private Medical Colleges: State Quota Cutoff
The situation is somewhat different when we look at medical colleges.
Under the State Quota the Round 1 cutoffs vary considerably between colleges.
| Private Medical College | Previous Cut-off | Current Round 1 Cut-off |
|---|---|---|
| Adesh Medical College | 475 | 483 |
| NC Medical College | 394 | 393 |
| SGT University | 396 | 368 |
| World College of Medical Sciences | 370 | 359 |
| Maharishi Markandeshwar Medical College | 363 | 344 |
| Sanskaram Medical College | -- | 349 |
Cutoff figures are based on the Round 1 analysis discussed in the source material.
Adesh Medical College saw its cutoff increase from 475 to 483.
On the hand several other private institutions recorded a decline. SGT Medical College for example moved from around 396 to 368 while Maharishi Markandeshwar Medical College dropped from 363 to 344.
Why Are Cutoffs Different Among Private Medical Colleges?
One important trend visible in the Haryana counselling data is the difference between colleges affiliated with the state system and private universities with comparatively higher fees.
Private colleges with fee structures may have lower closing scores because students with similar NEET scores may have the option of considering other institutions outside Haryana where they feel they can get better value or facilities for the overall expenditure.
As a result candidates should not judge a college by its cutoff. Fees, infrastructure, clinical exposure, location, hospital facilities, faculty and overall reputation should also be considered before filling preferences.
Haryana Private Medical Colleges: Management Quota Cutoff
The Management Quota provides another route for students who may not be able to secure admission through the State Quota.
The Round 1 Management Quota cutoff trend is as follows:
| Private Medical College | Previous Cut-Off | Current Round 1 Cut-Off |
|---|---|---|
| Adesh Medical College | 448 | 453 |
| NC Medical College | 390 | 396 |
| SGT University | 350 | 335 |
| World College of Medical Science | 359 | 362 |
| Maharishi Markandeshwar Medical College | 341 | 331 |
| Sanskaram Medical College | -- | 340 |
| Al-Falah Medical College | 327 | 310 |
The Management Quota results show a trend.
Adesh Medical College increased from around 448 to 453 while NC Medical College moved from 390 to 396.
At the time SGT University witnessed a decline from 350 to 335 and Maharishi Markandeshwar Medical College dropped from 341 to 331.
Al-Falah Medical College also recorded a cutoff moving from approximately 327 to 310.
State Quota vs Management Quota: What Should Students Understand?
The cutoff for Management Quota can be lower than the State Quota in private medical colleges because the eligibility and seat allocation structure is different.
However students should remember that a lower NEET cutoff does not necessarily mean an overall admission cost. Private medical colleges can have different fee structures depending on the quota and category of the seat.
Therefore students should consider the cost of MBBS, including tuition fees, hostel expenses and other applicable charges before making their final choice.
What Can We Expect in Haryana NEET Counselling Round 2?
The Round 1 cutoff gives candidates an indication of the level of competition but it does not necessarily determine the final cutoff for the counselling process.
After Round 1 admissions and subsequent joining vacant seats may become available. These vacancies can significantly influence the cutoff in the counselling round.
If a considerable number of seats remain vacant in a college the cutoff may come down in the subsequent round. Conversely colleges with demand and fewer available seats may continue to have relatively high closing scores.
Therefore candidates who could not secure their college in Round 1 should carefully follow the Round 2 seat matrix, vacancy position and choice-filling process before making their next decisions.

Final Words
The Haryana NEET UG Round 1 results show an increase in competition for government MBBS seats with most government medical colleges closing at considerably higher scores than the previous year.
The private medical college scenario is more varied. While some colleges have seen their cutoffs rise others have recorded a decline, among institutions with higher fee structures.
For students who are participating in the counselling rounds the next important factors to watch will be the vacancy position after Round 1 admissions, Round 2 seat matrix and changes, in student preferences.
The cutoff can move either upward or downward in the round depending on these factors. Therefore candidates should keep checking the counselling updates and make their choices strategically.
