Read the quota column with the rank. The same college often has a government seat closing at a few thousand and a management or NRI seat open to two lakh — at many times the fee. A large rank here does not mean a cheap seat.

Common questions about MS General Surgery
- What rank is needed for MS General Surgery?
- It depends on the quota as much as on the rank. In the NRI category, round 1 closed from rank 2 at the most competitive college. Management and NRI seats at the same colleges stay open to far larger ranks, but cost several times more — so a large rank does not mean a cheap seat. The table on this page keeps each seat's rank and its own fee on the same row for exactly that reason.
- How many MS General Surgery seats are there?
- 3,963 seats across 518 colleges in 7 states, counted from the published seat matrix for 2025.
- Does the MS General Surgery cutoff loosen in later rounds?
- For 10 of the 52 NRI seats, yes — a later round reached a worse rank than round 1 did, because upgrades free seats and a freed seat goes to whoever is next. The rest closed tighter or did not move.
These are historical closing ranks, not a forecast. They say where the cut actually landed in published rounds; nothing here predicts what this year will do.
