Karnataka NEET 2025 category-wise cutoff profiles
All 20 supported Government category codes and all three supported Private codes had a higher aggregate median closing AIR in Round 2 than Round 1. This is a historical profile pattern—not a matched-key cutoff movement claim or a forecast.

What the evidence supports
- • Government: 20 of 20 supported codes had a higher R2 median than R1; descriptive changes ranged from +7,513 to +31,790 AIR.
- • Private: GMP, GMPH and OPN all had a higher R2 median than R1; descriptive changes ranged from +15,448 to +33,124 AIR.
- • Eleven profiles also met the Round 3 sample threshold and are shown separately below.
- • OTH remains an independent Other-seat profile. It is never pooled with Government, Private or NRI.
Profiles supported across Rounds 1, 2 and 3
These profiles had at least 30 exact keys in both R1 and R2, plus at least 10 in R3. AIR is NEET All India Rank; n is the number of canonical keys.

Additional profiles supported for Rounds 1 and 2
These profiles met the R1/R2 rule but did not have at least 10 Round 3 exact keys, so no R3 median is published here.

Read category codes exactly as published
This research preserves source codes such as GM, GMH, GMR, 2AG, SCG, GMP and OPN exactly. It does not infer or expand eligibility meanings. Candidates should verify the current code definitions, reservation rules and eligibility in the applicable Karnataka Examinations Authority bulletin.
NRI is excluded from the headline analysis because its sample was below threshold: R1 n=23, R2 n=18 and R3 n=1.
Methodology and limitations
Scope: verified Karnataka NEET 2025 MBBS records for Rounds 1, 2 and 3 using NEET AIR. The source contains 19,357 verified rows, reduced to 3,644 canonical round-college-programme-seat-group-category keys across 66 colleges and 75 category codes.
Primary inclusion rule: at least 30 exact keys in R1 and at least 30 in R2 for the same seat-group and category-code profile. R3 publication additionally requires at least 10 exact keys in R3. The canonical duplicate check returned zero.
The displayed difference is R2 aggregate median minus R1 aggregate median. Because round populations can differ, it is descriptive—not matched-key movement, causal evidence or a prediction.
Historical ranks do not guarantee admission. Seat matrices, rules, demand and candidate behaviour can change.
Frequently asked questions
Which Karnataka category profiles are included?
This study includes 24 seat-group and category-code profiles meeting the minimum Round 1 and Round 2 sample rule: 20 Government, three Private and one Other profile.
Does a higher median AIR mean my cutoff will move by that amount?
No. The changes compare aggregate profile medians from different round populations. They are descriptive and are not matched-key movement estimates or predictions.
Why is NRI not included in the headline table?
NRI did not meet the study threshold: it had 23 exact keys in Round 1, 18 in Round 2 and one in Round 3. It was excluded rather than presented as a stable profile.
