What Is the AIIMS Paramedical Cut Off & Why It Matters
The AIIMS Paramedical Cut Off is the minimum rank (and corresponding marks) a candidate must secure to become eligible for the centralized counselling and seat allotment process. Meeting the cut off does not guarantee a seat — it simply qualifies you to participate in counselling, where your final admission depends on your rank, category, institute/course preferences, and actual seat availability during each round. Since AIIMS conducts admission through multiple rounds (Round 1, Round 2, and often an Open Round), the closing rank for a given institute and course typically increases in later rounds as more seats and candidates enter the pool.

UR-PwBD 6,390
EWS 6,390

5-Year Historical Cut Off Trend (2022–2026)

Shows how sharply the cut off rank has risen year-on-year due to increasing competition
Category 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026
UR 326 676 1,370 6,398 11,542
EWS 321 669 1,364 6,390 11,536
OBC (NCL) 455 1,036 2,144 8,610 13,754
SC 640 1,537 3,251 11,195 14,524
ST 632 1,459 3,215 11,220 14,520
Key Insight: The UR cut off rank has risen roughly 35x between 2022 (326) and 2026 (11,542) — a clear sign of exploding competition year after year, driven by rising awareness of AIIMS paramedical courses and a growing number of candidates attempting the exam each cycle. Every single category has followed this same steep upward trajectory without exception.

Course-Wise Cut Off (Round 1 vs Round 2) — Reference Trend
Course Round 1 / Round 2 Cut Off Rank
B.Sc. in Medical Radiology & Imaging Technology (MRIT) 2,177 / 2,849
B.Sc. in MRIT (Alternate Campus) 2,275 / 2,335
B.Sc. in Anaesthesia Technology 2,445 / 3,181
B.Sc. Emergency Medicine Technician 2,448 / 3,072
Note: This confirms the earlier point that Round 2 closing ranks are consistently higher than Round 1 across every course — candidates near the Round 1 cut off should stay engaged through Round 2 rather than assuming they’re out of the race.

City/Institute-Wise Cut Off — Reference Trend (General Category)
AIIMS Delhi ~280 (Most Competitive — Lowest/Best Rank Needed)
AIIMS Jodhpur ~710 – 715
AIIMS Bhubaneswar ~708 – 710
AIIMS Bhopal ~715+
Important: Notice that AIIMS Delhi’s closing rank (~280) is much lower/tighter than the overall UR All-India cut off (6,398 in 2025) — this is because AIIMS Delhi is the most sought-after campus, so it closes at a much better (lower) rank than other, newer AIIMS institutes, which absorb candidates with comparatively higher (weaker) ranks. Always check institute-specific cut offs separately from the overall All-India figure.

Minimum Qualifying Marks (Passing Score)
Minimum Passing Score (All Categories) Minimum 50% Marks Required to Qualify
Note: Scoring the minimum 50% only makes you “qualified” in the broadest sense — your actual admission chances still depend entirely on your rank relative to the category-wise and institute-wise cut offs shown above.

What Determines the AIIMS Paramedical Cut Off Each Year

  • Total Seats Available: Around 725–950 seats across 12 AIIMS institutes offering paramedical courses — fewer seats relative to demand pushes cut off ranks up
  • Number of Candidates Appeared: Roughly 40,000–45,000+ candidates typically compete for these seats every year
  • Difficulty Level of the Paper: A tougher exam generally results in more spread-out scores and can shift the cut off rank
  • Negative Marking Impact: Since each wrong answer costs 1/3 mark, candidates who balance accuracy with attempt rate tend to perform better, directly influencing overall merit trends
  • Category-Wise Reservation: Cut offs are released separately for UR/EWS/OBC/SC/ST/PwBD as per applicable reservation policy
  • Round-Wise Escalation: Closing ranks typically increase in Round 2 and the Open Round as more seats and candidates join the counselling pool

Safe Score Estimate — Marks vs. Category (Based on Trends)
General Category 55+ Marks (Safe) | 70+ Marks (High Rank)
OBC / SC / ST 40+ Marks (Indicative)
EWS 45+ Marks (Indicative)
Note: These marks-based estimates are drawn from historical trend analysis by exam-prep platforms, out of the total 90 marks. They are only indicative — your actual qualification and admission chances depend on the official cut off rank published today, and on how many seats are available in your preferred institute/course.

AIIMS Institutes Offering Paramedical Courses (2026)

  • AIIMS New Delhi (Highest Seat Intake, ~178–185 Seats)
  • AIIMS Bhopal
  • AIIMS Bhubaneswar
  • AIIMS Jodhpur
  • AIIMS Patna
  • AIIMS Raipur
  • AIIMS Rishikesh
  • AIIMS Bathinda
  • AIIMS Nagpur
  • AIIMS Raebareli
  • AIIMS Mangalagiri
  • AIIMS Bibinagar

Note: Newer AIIMS institutes (Nagpur, Raebareli, Mangalagiri, Bibinagar) typically offer around 45–48 seats each, while AIIMS Delhi consistently has the largest allocation. Institute-wise closing ranks vary significantly — for instance, AIIMS Bathinda has historically closed at a much lower rank than AIIMS Delhi for the same category, since it has fewer total applicants relative to seats.

What to Do Next Based on Your Rank
Your Situation Recommended Action
Your rank comfortably beats the cut off for your category Proceed to register for counselling and begin researching institute/course preferences carefully
Your rank is close to the published cut off Still register for counselling — Round 2 and Open Round closing ranks are typically higher, improving your chances as the process progresses
Your rank is well beyond the current cut off Keep monitoring later rounds regardless, but also start exploring other paramedical entrance options (state-level CPET, RUHS, PGIMER, JENPAS UG, etc.) in parallel

Important Points to Remember

  • Meeting the cut off makes you eligible for counselling only — it does not guarantee a seat at any specific institute or course
  • AIIMS does NOT allow re-evaluation or rechecking of answer sheets, so the declared result and cut off are treated as final
  • Cut off ranks generally increase in Round 2 and the Open Round, so candidates near the Round 1 cut off should not lose hope after just one round
  • Your AIIMS Paramedical scorecard/rank is valid only for the current admission year (2026) — it cannot be carried forward to next year’s cycle
  • Cut off figures can occasionally be updated or corrected shortly after initial release — always refer to the latest official PDF, especially in the hours immediately following declaration
