Guidance
Enter your MECEE-BL mock score out of 200and see roughly where it would land on the MBBS, BDS and BSc Nursing merit lists MEC actually published, and which seats closed at or after that rank. Scholarship and paying seats separately, with the intake and MEC's fee ceiling where known. The full directory is below.
Each programme sits its own paper and has its own list. Ranks are averaged over MECEE-BL 2023–2026 and scaled to the newest field; the 50th-percentile cut-off ranged 49.5–59 marks for MBBS, 55–63.75 for BDS and 39.75–44.25 for BSc Nursing over those cycles.
An approximation from past cycles — not a promise about the next one.
An approximation, not a prediction. Ranks are read off the merit lists MEC published for the last four cycles, averaged and scaled to the most recent field; the band covers how far the same score moved between cycles plus how far a mock tends to sit from the real paper. Each programme is its own paper and its own list. Reservation categories are not modelled, and the next paper will not be the last one.
Scholarship cut-offs are the last open-category rank admitted in MEC's first admission list for MECEE-BL 2024; paying cut-offs are the deepest rank admitted across the 2024 matching and wrap-up rounds. Rows marked estimated are not published anywhere and are inferred from neighbouring colleges. Cut-offs move every cycle with the paper and the size of the field, and your own reservation category changes them more than anything on this page. The Medical Education Commission (mec.gov.np) publishes the official seat matrix, fee structure and matching results each cycle — check there before making any decision.
