Hello,

If you are enquiring about NEET UG All India Quota (AIQ) Counselling then the seat allotment isn't based on 'First come first service' basis. Each institute has different cut off for each category. If a candidate has the required cut off rank then he/she may get seat in that particular institute for which the candidate has met the cut off criteria. Seat allotment depends on total number of candidates applied for counselling, rank of the candidate, category of the candidate, preferences of institute, course, seat availability etc. The criteria to allot a seat is same for the candidate with rank 16,000 and 30,000. If the cut off  for a particular college is more than 30,000 then the candidate has selected that institute and if there are vacancies available in the category of the candidate he/she may be allotted a seat in that institute in round 1. If it's less than 30,000 the candidate will not be allotted seat in that institute. This goes with the candidate with rank 16,000.

To get seat in an institute based on NEET UG score you need to qualify in NEET UG by scoring the minimum qualifying cut off marks. This year the cut off to qualify in NEET UG is as follows category-wise

General: 138-720

SC/ST/OBC: 108-137

General-PwD: 122-137

SC/ST/OBC-PwD: 108-121

If you have scored above the cut off percentile you are eligible to apply for admission. The cut off admission in to a specific course is different for each institute and category. For this reason I'm providing the link to check the previous year cut off for admission to MBBS/BDS through NEET Karnataka state counselling.

Cut off changes every year depending on factors such as total number of candidates appeared, difficulty level of examination and total number of seats available etc.
