A NEET SS rank of 2994 for DM Nephrology in 2025 indicates that securing a seat in the most highly sought-after government medical colleges, like AIIMS Delhi or PGIMER Chandigarh, will be very challenging. Historically, the cutoff ranks for DM Nephrology in these premier institutes have been significantly lower.

However, with a rank of 2994, you still have possibilities in a range of other reputable medical colleges across India. Keep in mind that cutoff ranks can vary each year based on the number of available seats, the difficulty level of the exam, and the preferences of the candidates.

Government Medical Colleges: You might have a chance at some of the well-regarded state-level government medical colleges. Some examples from previous years where ranks around this range had a possibility include:

• TD Medical College, Alappuzha (Kerala)
• Tirunelveli Medical College, Tirunelveli (Tamil Nadu)
• Topiwala National Medical College, Mumbai (Maharashtra)
  
  
• Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala)
• Stanley Medical College, Chennai (Tamil Nadu)
• Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad (Telangana)
  
  
• Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (IPGMER), Kolkata (West Bengal) (though closing ranks can be competitive here too)

Private and Deemed Medical Colleges: Your rank also opens doors to several private and deemed medical colleges known for their Nephrology programs. Some potential options could be:

• Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore (Tamil Nadu) (though highly competitive, it's worth considering)
  
  
• St. John's Medical College, Bangalore (Karnataka)
  
  
• Kasturba Medical College (KMC), Manipal (Karnataka)
  
  
• Sri Ramachandra Medical College & Research Institute, Chennai (Tamil Nadu)
• Dayanand Medical College & Hospital, Ludhiana (Punjab)

I hope this helps.

With a rank of 2994, you're likely to be eligible for DM Nephrology programs at many reputable medical colleges in India, but not necessarily the most prestigious ones. You'll have the best chance at colleges in the middle tier.

Here are some medical colleges where you might be able to secure a seat with a rank of 2994, keeping in mind that this is a general guideline and not a guarantee:

TD Medical College, Alappuzha (Kerala)

Tirunelveli Medical College, Tirunelveli (Tamil Nadu)

Topiwala National Medical College, Mumbai (Maharashtra)

Hello Ashabari Das ,

Based on the NEET SS 2023 data, a rank of 2994 in DM Nephrology falls outside the typical closing ranks for most government and top private institutions. However, certain private or deemed universities have historically admitted candidates with ranks extending beyond 3000. (https://www.shiksha.com/college/institute-of-nephro-urology-bangalore-69837/cutoff?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

For instance, in 2023, the closing rank for DM Nephrology at Sri Ramachandra Medical College, Chennai, was 3804, and at Dr. D.Y. Patil Medical College, Pune, it was 3805.  These institutions may consider candidates with ranks around 2994, especially in later rounds or through management quotas.

It's important to note that cutoffs can vary annually based on factors like seat availability and candidate preferences. Therefore, while admission at this rank is challenging, it's advisable to monitor counseling updates and consider applying to institutions with historically higher closing ranks.

For the most accurate and current information, refer to official NEET SS counseling portals and individual college announcements.

Have a great day!!!

Hello aspirant,

Clinical physicians that specialize in treating patients with kidney diseases are known as nephrologists.  The MBBS program must be completed, followed by a DM or MD in nephrology, in order to become a nephrologist. So, a clinical background is required to become a nephrologist.

If you fulfill this eligibility criteria, then you can do doctor of medicine in Nephrology.

Thank you

Hi ishaan,

The salary varies with the reputation and city in which the hospital is present. Taking about the slasry of cardiologist, it depends upon the popularity and the status of the hospital. Many surgeons charge a high fees for the surgery and treatment while others donot. It depends upon them.

So, in simple words the salary is not at all fixed, it varies from person to person. Many hospitals have their fees structure for every procedure.  Surely the fees varies as per the status of the hospital.

Government hospitals have lower fees for the procedure while private have the highest . It directly makes a hole in the pocket of the pateints.

I hope you understand my point.

Thank you and good luck:)

Good luck!!

Hello,

Saying this would be too difficult as both are great in their respective categories and talking about the scope than also i would say that both remains same. But from students point of view we can say that most students try to get in Endocrinology because it is related to kidney’s root cause rather than only end cause which makes it’s demand a little higher. Hence, now it only depends upon you and your desire that where you have more interest and will make you more comfortable you have to go with that only.

Thank you..

Hello Student,

Since you had already mentioned that you don't want to do endocrinology, my main focus will be comparing nephrology and oncology for you.

Career scope in nephrology: Candidates aspiring to become Nephrologist must possess a 5½ years MBBS degree followed by 2- 3 years M.D. (Medicine) / DNB (Nephrology) course. After attaining the Master's degree candidates have to do D.M. (Nephrology) to specialize in the field of Nephrology.

As a nephrologist you can specialize in pediatric nephrology and adult nephrology. Pediatric nephrology deals with the treatment of kidney diseases in children's. You can find jobs in various government and private hospitals, kidney and dialysis centres, and general medical centres.

The demand for care related to kidney disease and injury is increasing . For a fresher working in a corporate hospital in a big city, starting salary will be 1.5 to 2 lakhs.

Career scope in oncology: Oncology nursing is a great career for nurses who enjoy ongoing relationships with patients and their families. It has its own unique requirements—things that can tax a nurse both professionally and emotionally—but it also offers tremendous rewards.  Demand for oncology services is expected to rise rapidly , driven by the aging and growth of the population and improvements in cancer survival rates, at the same time the oncology workforce is aging and retiring in increasing numbers.

Regards.
