With 400 marks in NEET 2026, your expected All India Rank falls between 1,00,000 and 1,40,000; securing a Tripura state quota MBBS seat at this score is likely for SC and ST students, borderline for OBC students, and unlikely for general category applicants based on 2025 trends.
NEET 2026 results are expected in June 2026, after which DME Tripura will begin state quota MBBS counselling. Tripura allocates 85% of government medical college seats under state quota, and only students with a valid Tripura domicile compete for these seats. This limited pool of applicants makes Tripura cutoffs markedly lower than All India Quota benchmarks, giving Tripura domicile students a real edge even at scores around 400.
- NEET 2026 total marks: 720 — a score of 400 equals 55.6% of the total.
- Expected All India Rank for 400 marks: approximately 1,00,000 to 1,40,000 (based on 2025 trends).
- Tripura state quota seats are contested only among Tripura domicile students, sharply reducing competition.
- For SC and ST students, 400 marks is generally sufficient for Tripura state quota MBBS based on past cutoff data.
- DME Tripura conducts state quota counselling at dme.tripura.gov.in.

Tripura State Quota MBBS Seats and Colleges
The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Tripura manages state quota MBBS admissions. The state quota accounts for 85% of total government medical college seats. Agartala Government Medical College (AGMC) is the primary government medical college in the state, making it the main destination for state quota MBBS aspirants. Students must hold a valid Tripura domicile certificate to participate in state quota counselling.
| College | Total MBBS Seats (Approx.) | State Quota Seats (85%) | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agartala Government Medical College (AGMC) | 100 | 85 | Agartala, Tripura |
Of the 85 state quota seats, a portion is reserved for SC, ST, and OBC students as per the Tripura government reservation policy. General category students compete for unreserved seats after reservation deductions are applied.

Can 400 Marks Secure a Tripura State Quota MBBS Seat?
Your category is the deciding factor. Here is a clear breakdown of your chances with 400 marks in NEET 2026:
- General/UR category: Unlikely. Expected closing rank for general category at AGMC is around 40,000–70,000, which typically requires 450 or more marks. A score of 400 falls short of this threshold based on recent trends.
- OBC category: Borderline. For OBC students, 400 marks places you at the edge of the expected cutoff range. Your final chances depend on NEET 2026 difficulty and how many OBC-domicile Tripura students appear.
- SC category: Good chance. SC students with 400 marks have a reasonable probability of securing a seat, as the expected SC closing rank falls within the rank range corresponding to 400 marks.
- ST category: High chance. ST students from Tripura with 400 marks are well-placed to qualify for state quota MBBS based on historical cutoff data.
Importantly, DME Tripura ranks students using a state merit list of Tripura domicile NEET qualifiers — not the All India Rank. Students from other states do not compete for Tripura state quota seats, which significantly lowers the effective competition threshold.
Factors Affecting Tripura State Quota Cutoff in 2026
Several variables will influence whether 400 marks proves sufficient in NEET 2026:
- Total Tripura domicile NEET qualifiers: A larger pool of eligible state students raises the effective competition and can push cutoffs upward.
- NEET 2026 paper difficulty: An easier paper shifts the score distribution higher across all students, elevating cutoffs across categories.
- Seat intake at AGMC: Any increase or decrease in the approved MBBS intake directly impacts how far down the merit list seats are filled.
- Reservation matrix: Category-wise seat splits are applied before merit-based allotment; the number of open seats for general category is determined after all reservations are accounted for.
- Number of counselling rounds: DME Tripura typically holds multiple rounds including a mop-up round. Seats unfilled in earlier rounds open at lower cutoffs in subsequent rounds, giving lower-ranked students a second opportunity.
