Expected Rank for 450 Marks in NEET 2026
A NEET 2026 score of 450 out of 720 is expected to correspond to an All India Rank (AIR) in the range of 1,20,000–1,55,000 for the General category, based on 2025 score-to-rank trends. For APST (ST) category, the same score translates to a significantly lower category rank, improving your chances at reserved ST seats.
For AP State Quota, the state merit rank — derived from NEET scores of AP domicile applicants only — is what APDHTE uses for allotment. The state-level applicant pool is smaller than the national pool, which works in your favour if you hold AP domicile.
| NEET 2026 Score | Expected General AIR | Expected ST AIR (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| 510–540 | 60,000–90,000 | 1,500–3,500 |
| 480–510 | 90,000–1,20,000 | 3,500–6,000 |
| 450–480 | 1,20,000–1,55,000 | 6,000–10,000 |
| 420–450 | 1,55,000–2,00,000 | 10,000–16,000 |
| 380–420 | 2,00,000–2,60,000 | 16,000–25,000 |
Rank estimates are based on NEET 2025 trends and are expected projections for NEET 2026. Official ranks will be published with the NEET 2026 result.
