  • The NEET UG 2026 Re-Examination will be held for the students pursuing MBBS, BDS, and other undergraduate medical courses on June 21, 2026.
  • NEET UG 2026 Result will be expected to be published shortly after re-examination, followed by the registration of students for MCC counselling and seat allotment rounds.
  • Admission to the MD, MS and PG Diploma courses will be made through NEET PG 2026, which is tentatively scheduled on 30th August 2026.
  • NEET PG 2026 Counselling is likely to kick off in the fourth quarter of 2026, following the declaration of results.

The VIMSAR Burla Cutoff 2026 is expected to be on the competitiveness side because the academic position of the institute and its admission status by the NEET aspirants of Odisha make it one of the most sought-after institutes for admission in both MBBS and PG medical courses. Admission counselling and trend in the counselling data might make the closing of the General category under Odisha State Quota between AIR 615 and 635+, and closing of All India Quota (AIQ) 15% candidates lie in between AIR 7,100 and 9,500. The reserved categories, such as OBC/SEBC, SC, ST, and EWS are also likely to have competitive cutoffs.

There were large fluctuations in the cutoff scores in the past year's data of VIMSAR. The General category cutoff dropped from 680 in 2024 to 564 in 2025, the OBC category cutoff went down from 672 in 2024 to 554 in 2025 and EWS cutoff came down from 672 in 2024 to 556 in 2025. Likewise, in 2025, the SC category cutoff was lowered to 503, while in 2024 it was 626. These differences reflect the effect of varying the NEET difficulty, counselling participation, changing the seat matrix, and competition by category.

VIMSAR has continued to see a strong performance in terms of high-ranking candidates applying for NEET PG, with much in-demand specialties like MD General Medicine, MD Pediatrics and MS General Surgery in the top ranks of 1,400 to 6,000. Based on this overall cutoff analysis, candidates aspiring to VIMSAR Odisha 2026 can plan their preparation strategy to ensure that they get admission in VIMSAR, Odisha, during both counselling (State and All India) rounds with the scores which are well above the expected cut off.
