📊 Previous Year VCI Counselling Closing Ranks (All India Quota – 15%)

The VCI (Veterinary Council of India) counselling process for 15% All India Quota (AIQ) publishes All India Ranks (AIR) — not NEET scores. So we’ll use AIR as our comparison.

⚠️ Note: NEET marks vary each year for the same rank, so always focus on targeting rank instead of just marks.

📈 NEET Rank vs. Marks: Why Ranks Matter More

Each year, the same NEET score can produce different ranks due to changes in difficulty level and student performance.

📝 Example:In NEET 2021, I scored 516 marks and got a rank around 70,000.But in NEET 2024, the same 516 score might not even get under 1,00,000 AIR!
