What is NEET PG closing rank?

Closing rank is typically the worst (highest) All India Rank that was allotted a particular college–course–category–quota combination in a given counselling round (or across rounds, depending on the source). It is historical data, not a guarantee for the next year.

What is last rank in NEET PG counselling?

People say 'last rank' to mean the last candidate who got that seat — often the same idea as closing rank. Always check whether the figure is for Round 1 only or includes Round 2/3/Stray, and whether it is AIQ, DNB, or paid quota.

Is opening rank better than closing rank?

Opening rank is usually the best (lowest number) AIR allotted to that seat. Closing is the worst AIR allotted. If your rank is better than opening, chance historically looks Very High; between opening and closing looks Good; just beyond closing looks Borderline.

Opening rank vs closing rank vs “last rank”

Term	Meaning (practical)	How candidates use it
Opening rank	Best (lowest) AIR allotted to that college–course–category–quota in the dataset window	“Am I safer than last year’s best allotted?”
Closing rank	Worst (highest) AIR allotted in that same window	“Did ranks like mine still get this seat?”
Last rank	Informal synonym for closing / last allotted candidate	Same as closing — confirm round & quota

Always ask these 4 filters

Which year? (2024 vs 2025)
Which round? (R1 only vs all rounds)
Which category? (UR / OBC / SC / ST / EWS…)
Which seat type? (AIQ college seat vs DNB vs DipNB vs paid)

Why “last rank details” differ across websites

Some sites publish Round-1 closing only; later rounds can go deeper
DNB hospital seats and MD/MS college seats are mixed in casual lists
Typos / alternate college spellings create duplicate or missing rows
Reported vs allotted-but-not-joined candidates confuse raw PDFs

NexPG cleans MCC allotment releases, normalises institute names, and shows round-wise status (Reported / Surrendered / No change) so last-rank research is less noisy.
