NEET PG counselling: basic questions about choice filling, rank range, hospital selection and upgrades part 1
Can you answer a few basic questions?
- Rank range
If rank is 10k, 15k or 20k, how wide should the priority list be?
Same range for everyone, or different based on rank?
- Previous cutoffs
Which closing ranks should we consider — R1, R2, R3?
How many previous years should we check?
Should we give more importance to R2/R3 movement?
- How reliable are cutoff trends?
How reliable are previous-year cutoffs for this year's counselling?
How much can seat increases, resignations, changing branch preferences and round-wise movement affect them?
- Choice list size
How large should the choice list ideally be?
Should we include every college we would genuinely join?
- Upgrades
If we get an acceptable but not preferred college, should we continue upgrading through R2/R3?
When should we stop upgrading and accept the seat?
