The NTA declared the NEET UG 2025 results on June 14, following which only 73 students scored marks between 651 and 686, making the race for top medical institutes, such as AIIMS Delhi, extremely competitive. With the total number of aspirants exceeding 23 lakh this year, this limited number of high scorers has become a key highlight of this year’s results.
Why These Scores Matter for AIIMS Delhi Admission?
AIIMS Delhi is India’s most prestigious medical college and has been the top choice for NEET toppers for years. Based on previous years’ trends, students scoring between 680 and 720 generally secure seats in AIIMS Delhi under the General Category. However, this year, with only 73 students in the 651–686 range, the margin has tightened.
Experts suggest that AIIMS Delhi’s closing rank under the unreserved category is expected to be around AIR 50 to 90, which means only top scorers (above 685) will likely get in.

Impact on Top Medical Colleges
Due to this narrow top bracket:
- AIIMS Delhi, AIIMS Jodhpur, and AIIMS Bhubaneswar will see tough competition.
- Students scoring below 685 may have to consider other AIIMS or top state government medical colleges.
- Choice filling in counselling will become extremely strategic, especially for the top 100 rankers.
What does this mean for Aspirants?
- Rank matters more than just marks this year due to close competition among high scorers.
- Students who scored between 650 to 680 must prepare for AIQ Round 1 counselling carefully.
- Those not in this top bracket still have a strong chance in AIIMS Bhopal, Rishikesh, or top state colleges.
Expert Advice
Career counsellors are advising students to:
- Prioritise AIIMS based on closing ranks from NEET 2024.
- Keep backup options ready in the state quota and the top 10 government colleges.
- Focus on choice locking and round-wise counselling strategy.
Note: With just 73 students in the 651–686 range, AIIMS Delhi admission is now reserved for the absolute top performers of NEET UG 2025. As the counselling process begins, candidates must plan their options smartly to secure a seat in the top-tier medical colleges of India.
