NEET PG Help is a free NEET PG college predictor, branch predictor and MCC counselling tracker built on real MCC allotment data. What it does and how to use it.

You have your NEET PG rank. Now the real question starts: which college, and which branch, can that rank actually get? Most aspirants answer it by scrolling through hundred-page MCC allotment PDFs, or by trusting a screenshot forwarded in a Telegram group. NEET PG Help (neetpghelp.com) is a free tool that does that work for you, using MCC's own allotment data.
NEET PG Help is a free, independent website for NEET PG counselling. It does three things:
It is not MCC, NBEMS or any government body, and it says so on every page. That honesty is the point: instead of retyping numbers, it shows you where each figure came from.
Enter your NEET PG rank, your category and the specialty you want. The NEET PG college predictor lists every college where that seat was allotted at or beyond your rank, with the opening rank, the closing rank, the round and the number of seats.

Two details make its numbers more trustworthy than most:
You can also choose government colleges only, or all seats including private and deemed colleges. The method is explained in its college predictor guide.
Not sure which branch to aim for? The NEET PG branch predictor takes your rank and category and lists specialties by their closing rank for your category, along with how many institutes and seats that figure is based on.

That seat count matters. A specialty whose closing rank comes from one or two seats can swing wildly next year; one based on dozens of institutes is a far steadier guide.
During counselling, MCC publishes notices, seat matrices, results and corrigenda in quick succession. NEET PG Help tracks the official MCC website and lists each new document with its type, its round and a direct link to the original PDF on mcc.nic.in.

A small detail that says a lot: the dashboard shows two different times, when the site last checked MCC and when MCC last published an update. So you can tell at a glance whether "nothing new" means MCC has been quiet or the tracker has not looked yet. Where a document's type is unclear from its title, it is marked as uncertain so you know to open the PDF yourself.
Tip for your group
Whatever tool you use, these five questions separate a useful predictor from a guess:
NEET PG Help answers yes to all five, which is why we recommend it to NEET PG aspirants. It even keeps its third-party estimate dataset clearly labelled as not official.
Like every predictor, NEET PG Help describes what happened in past rounds. Seat matrices, candidate numbers and choices change every year, so a closing rank is a guide, not a promise. Use the results to build a shortlist, then confirm the current year's seats and rules on the official MCC website before you lock your choices.
INI-CET seats at AIIMS, JIPMER, PGIMER, NIMHANS and SCTIMST are allotted separately by AIIMS New Delhi, not through MCC. For those, use our free INI-CET college predictor, the INI-CET rank predictor and the INI-CET cutoff explorer, all built from official AIIMS documents. Our guide to using past cutoffs for choice filling works for both exams.

From MCC's own allotment result PDFs. Rounds extracted from those PDFs are labelled Real MCC; a separate third-party estimate dataset is labelled as not official.
No. You only enter a rank and a category. The site says it collects no personal data and needs no login.
