My all india neet 2025 rank is 14650 would i can get admission in pgims rohtak haryana

With an All India Rank of 14,650 in NEET 2025, your chances of getting admission to PGIMS Rohtak depend on a few key factors—most importantly, your category and whether you hold Haryana state domicile. If you are a General category candidate with Haryana domicile, your chances are moderate to good, as PGIMS Rohtak typically has a higher cutoff for general candidates, but state quota seats provide a significant advantage.

In previous years, candidates with ranks around 12,000–15,000 under the state quota have secured MBBS seats at PGIMS, especially in the later rounds. If you belong to a reserved category like OBC, SC, or EWS, your chances improve even further. Stay updated during the counseling process, participate in all rounds (including mop-up), and be flexible with preferences if needed.
