We analyzed 13,198 college-year observations from available General-category NEET closing-rank records. The report shows how the annual distribution moved from 2019 to 2025 and where the data cannot support a causal claim.
In this dataset, the top-5-percent General-category closing-rank threshold moved from AIR 774 in 2019 to AIR 1,874 in 2025. The median moved from AIR 9,093 to AIR 20,368. A higher numerical closing rank means the sampled seats closed later in AIR order. It does not, by itself, prove score inflation, reduced competition, or a change in an individual student's admission probability.

Enter your AIR to compare your profile with available 2019-2025 counselling cutoffs.
The 5th percentile describes the more selective end of the available sample, while the 95th percentile describes its broadest end. These are distribution summaries, not cutoff promises for a particular college, category, quota or counselling round.
This is an exploratory trend analysis, not a fixed-cohort experiment or a predictor backtest. Annual coverage grew from 338 college observations in 2019 to 3,010 in 2025, so part of the movement can come from changes in the colleges represented. The underlying database does not yet publish row-level source URLs. Use the chart to frame questions, then verify college, course, category, quota and round cutoffs in the official counselling documents.
