Government Medical Colleges in Haryana State Quota
DMER Haryana manages admissions to the following government and government-aided medical colleges under the state quota. Each college allocates seats across General, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS categories based on Haryana reservation norms.
| College Name | Location | MBBS Seats (Approx.) | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pt. B.D. Sharma PGIMS | Rohtak | 150 | Most competitive; co-ed |
| Kalpana Chawla Govt Medical College | Karnal | 100 | Co-ed; accessible at 600 marks |
| BPS Govt Medical College for Women | Khanpur Kalan, Sonipat | 100 | Women students only |
| Shaheed Hasan Khan Mewati GMC | Nalhar, Nuh | 100 | Co-ed; good prospects at 600 marks |
| Maharaja Agrasen Medical College | Agroha, Hisar | 150 | Government aided; co-ed |
PGIMS Rohtak is Haryana’s premier government medical institution. Its General category closing ranks are typically well below 10,000, making it difficult for General category students with 600 marks. However, OBC and SC students have a realistic shot here, as their respective reserved category closing ranks extend much higher.

How NEET Rank Is Calculated
NTA assigns NEET ranks based on total marks scored out of 720 across Physics, Chemistry, Botany, and Zoology (45 questions per subject, 180 total). The marking scheme is +4 for each correct answer and –1 for each wrong answer; unattempted questions carry zero marks.
For a score of 600, one straightforward attempt is 150 correct + 0 wrong = 600 marks. Another is 160 correct + 40 wrong (640 – 40 = 600). When two students score the same, NTA resolves the tie in this order:
| Tiebreaker Order | Criteria |
|---|---|
| 1st | Higher marks in Biology (Botany + Zoology) |
| 2nd | Higher marks in Chemistry |
| 3rd | Higher marks in Physics |
| 4th | Lower ratio of incorrect to total attempted questions |
| 5th | Older student gets a better rank |
Factors Affecting Haryana State Quota Cutoff 2026
Closing ranks in Haryana state quota can shift noticeably from year to year. Key drivers include:
- Haryana applicant pool: A larger number of Haryana domicile NEET qualifiers increases competition and pushes cutoffs higher.
- NEET 2026 paper difficulty: An easier paper concentrates more students in the 580–620 band, raising competition at 600 marks specifically.
- Seat matrix changes: Addition of new government seats or a new medical college in Haryana can ease cutoffs at existing institutions.
- Stray vacancy rounds: Seats left after main counselling rounds are offered in stray vacancy rounds, often accessible at higher closing ranks than the main round.
- Category reservation norms: Haryana applies its own OBC/SC/ST/EWS reservation percentages for state quota seats, which are separate from All India Quota norms.
