AGMC Category-wise Cutoff Comparison (Expected 2026)

Agartala Government Medical College (AGMC) is the only government medical college in Tripura participating in state NEET counselling. The table below compares the expected 2026 cutoff across all categories to help SC students understand where they stand in the overall merit list.

Category Expected Closing NEET Score 2026 Expected Closing AIR 2026
General (UR) 570–600 15,000–25,000
OBC 490–530 50,000–75,000
SC 420–450 95,000–1,10,000

Factors Affecting Tripura NEET 2026 SC Category Cutoff

The SC closing rank in Tripura NEET counselling is influenced by several factors that shift each year. Understanding these helps you set a realistic score target before registering for counselling.

  • Total SC Seats at AGMC: 15% of state quota MBBS seats are reserved for SC. Any revision in the total seat count directly affects the closing rank.
  • NEET UG 2026 Difficulty Level: A tougher NEET paper lowers the overall score distribution, which may slightly reduce the absolute closing score for SC students.
  • Number of Eligible SC Applicants from Tripura: Higher SC student participation in state counselling increases competition and pushes the closing state rank higher.
  • Domicile Eligibility Restriction: Only Tripura domicile students are eligible for state quota seats, limiting the applicant pool compared to all-India quota counselling.
  • Official Seat Matrix Revision: Any government order revising the seat matrix for the 2026 session can shift SC category cutoffs up or down.
  • Multiple Counselling Rounds: Seats unfilled in Round 1 may carry forward to Round 2 or the mop-up round, sometimes relaxing the effective closing rank for SC students in later rounds.
