West Bengal MBBS (Management Quota) Cut-Off 2025 Round-2 vs Round-1 

Securing admission to MBBS courses in West Bengal through Management and NRI quota is a very rewarding prospect for students looking to obtain a seat in private medical colleges. With the NEET 2025 results now declared, students should use their knowledge of the cut-offs displayed from Round-1 and Round-2 to plan their next steps. An analysis of Round-2 vs Round-1 cut-offs for colleges is presented in detail. Students who may not have been successful in Round 1, or are hopeful to be upgraded will have the opportunity for Round 2.

The cut-off point for Round 2 may differ from that in Round 1 for many reasons, i.e., previously filled vacant seats from students who confirmed their admissions in Round 1 may be open to eligible candidates in Round 2 or changes to student preferences and student who registered for round- 2 only. Even if students were not able to secure admission, the analysis of trends, provides them with an understanding of which colleges may be more accessible, how competitive the universities they applied to, and how their NEET UG 2025 scores compared to  the cut-off scores for previous years.

In this blog, students are provided with analysis of the Management Quota cut-offs for every college on a college by college basis for Round 1 and Round 2 in 2025. This will add some rationale to the students evaluation and possible decision making process during their counselling picks. Students should view Top I-time and Exploratory schools not as two separate strategies but as schools which can equally provide students with an AI opportunity for admission.

General Trends: 

• Most colleges experienced a mild drop in the cut-off scores from Round-1 to Round-2, with the exception of a few colleges, such as KPC MCH, Jadavpur, and ICARE IMS, Haldia, in which the Round-2 cut-off scores were higher. 
• Aspirants or students falling slightly below the Round-1 cut-off score will have potentially more opportunities in Round-2 since there will be empty seats available with other candidates not attending. 

Top Tier Colleges: 

• KPC MCH, Jadavpur remains the most popular college, with a Round-2 cut-off score which increased from 457 in Round-1 to 463 in Round-2. 
• ICARE IMS, Haldia also rose in score from 295 to 316 in Round-2, indicating a competitive round. 

Mid Tier Colleges: 

• Colleges such as Gouri Devi IMS, JMN Medical College, I Q City, and JIS School experienced an increase in the Round-2 cut-off score, which suggests that students did not attend in Round-1 giving one additional chance of admission in Round-2.

Lower Tier Colleges: 

• Colleges such as Santiniketan, Krishnanagar IMS, and Jakir Hosain MCH were decreased slightly in cut-off scores for some, from Round-1 to Round-2, while the overall cut-off scores stayed similar. 
• This indicates that aspirants with NEET scores around 200–230 still have a good opportunity in Round-2.

Tips for Management Quota Aspirants:

• It is important to apply for Round-2 despite not attending Round-1 because some colleges fill vacant seats again at a slightly lower score. 
• Have your priority list ready. Apply to your best choice colleges first, but consider others as safe back-up options.
• Check the real-time availability of seats after each round so you do not miss your seat because of an unusually high applicant competition.

NRI Quota Cut-Off Analysis

Institute Name	Round-1 Rank	Round-1 Score	Round-2 Rank	Round-2 Score
KPC MCH, Jadavpur	1171559	133	1281133	117
Jagannath Gupta IMS	1188084	130	1267125	120

• Cut-Off Scores: The NRI quota cut-offs are much lower in the score compared to Management Quota cut-offs, reflecting the separate quota category.
• Trend: Round-2 cut-off scores for NRI quota dropped a small amount, suggesting some seats remained unfilled in Round-1.
• Advice for NRI Candidates: You can still potentially get admission in Round-2, under NRI quota, even if your score was below the Round-1 cut-offs.

Key Takeaways for Students

• Participate in Both Rounds: Always try to participate in both rounds to allow for greater possible acceptance in medical college.
• Know Your Score: Have an idea of your NEET score vs prior year’s cut-off scores to reach out to colleges where your score will be competitive for admission chances.
• College Selection: Rate colleges by quality rating, program, campus, and location even if cut-off rank is different. Do not only rank by cut-off place.
• Alternatives: Remember to still apply to colleges that are mid-tier and even lower-tier alternatives since they often will give a better education for a lower cost than the top colleges.
• Stay Informed: Continuously monitor official West Bengal NEET counselling notifications for changes in availability and cut-off expectations.
