A: RC Rank is RankerCentral’s proprietary ranking metric that orders medical colleges purely by true student demand.

It’s calculated using a volume-weighted algorithm based on actual NEET AIQ core round admissions data (for example, the 2025 dataset). Instead of relying on subjective surveys or arbitrary cut-offs, RC Rank reflects where students genuinely choose to go, weighted by the number of seats and the demand intensity.
