Private medical colleges in Bihar generally have wider AIR closing ranks compared to government colleges, making them a strong backup option for candidates with moderate scores. Here is the open-category cut-off and 2026 target score for each branch.

- Radio Diagnosis and General Medicine remain the toughest government branches in Bihar, with closing ranks well under 5,000 AIR for top categories.
- Forensic Medicine, Pathology, and SPM continue to be the most accessible government branches for candidates with comparatively lower AIR.
- In private colleges, Radio Diagnosis, General Medicine, and TBRD have the most competitive (lowest rank) open-category cut-offs, while SPM and Pathology remain relatively easier to secure.
- Reservation categories (BC, EWS, SC, ST) show significantly relaxed cut-offs compared to UR-GEN, so category-eligible candidates should evaluate both lists carefully during choice filling.
- Target scores are projections based on historical trends and may shift slightly depending on exam difficulty, number of seats, and total candidates appearing in NEET PG 2026.
Choosing the right branch and college is not just about matching your score to a cut-off number, it also depends on bond policy, hostel facilities, faculty strength, and long-term career value of the specialty. At NEET MENTOR, we provide personalised, one-on-one counselling support to help you make the most informed choice-filling decision for NEET PG 2026, covering both government and private options across Bihar and all other states.
