Hello,

A BDS seat at a Government Medical College is extremely unlikely to be obtained with a NEET 2025 score of 248. Generally speaking, government BDS seats demand much higher marks, depending on the state and category. It's not a certainty, but there maybe few opportunities at some private universities, particularly those with the greater tuition or in less competitive areas.

Hello,

Yes, NTA can reduce the qualifying score of NEET if needed.

This is usually done when the number of qualified candidates is very low or for some specific reason. NTA has the right to lower the cutoff marks in special cases.

Hope it helps !

With 399 marks (OBC), AIR 2,12,382, and OBC rank 1,01,511 — chances for government BAMS colleges are very low in both the All India and UP State quota.
You may get a seat in private BAMS colleges.
For a government seat, aim 430+ in NEET 2026.

Hello amrinder !

Congratulations on getting selected for an interview at IISc. Your IISc material engineering ( M.Tech research/ Ph.D.) interview results will be declared only on the IISc admission portal not on COAP.

Secondly if you are selected the offer letter must be accepted through the IISc admission portal itself not via COAP.

COAP is used only for course based M.Tech/M.Des not for M.Tech (research) or Ph.D.

With 382 marks you have significant chances of getting into government or private BHMS college in Uttar Pradesh. The cutoff marks generally vary from 350 to 420 depending on the category.

For admission you need to apply on the AYUSH portal and Uttar Pradesh state counselling.

According to previous year trends you have good chances of getting a BHMS seat with your NEET score of 382.

For admission register on the AYUSH portal and take part in the centralised counselling for BAMS/BHMS via the AYUSH Admission Central Counselling Committee.

With 382 marks in NEET 2025 , you qualify but MBBS admission in government colleges is very unlikely,safe scores usually start around 500+ . Your options:

1. BDS or AYUSH courses – lower cutoffs.

2. Private colleges – through management or NRI quota.

3. Allied health/paramedical programs – more flexible admissions.

Yes, it is possible to get admitted to some government postgraduate (PG) programs, including M.Tech, without a GATE score. While GATE is a common and often preferred route for admission to many government institutions, especially IITs and NITs, several alternatives exist.

Here's how you can pursue PG programs without GATE:

Sponsored Seats:

Many IITs and NITs offer sponsored seats in their M.Tech programs. These seats are often available to candidates with relevant work experience (usually at least two years) in a related field.

Quality Improvement Programme (QIP):

This program allows individuals already working in academic institutions to pursue M.Tech degrees at IITs and other institutions without a GATE score.

Entrance Exams Conducted by Specific Institutions:

Some institutions, including IITs and NITs, may conduct their own entrance exams or interviews for specific M.Tech programs, especially for those not seeking GATE-based admission.

State-Level Entrance Exams:

Some state governments conduct their own entrance exams for postgraduate programs in state-funded universities and colleges.

Merit-Based Admission:

Some institutions may offer admission based on academic merit, considering your undergraduate performance and other relevant factors.

Private Institutions:

Private universities and colleges often offer M.Tech programs without mandatory GATE scores, relying on their own entrance exams, interviews, or merit-based admissions.

Study Abroad:

Consider pursuing an MS degree abroad, as many international universities have their own admission criteria, which may not include GATE.

Important Considerations:

Eligibility Criteria: Ensure you meet the specific eligibility criteria of the institution and program you are interested in, as these may vary.

Application Deadlines: Be aware of the application deadlines for each institution and program.

Alternative Exams: If you are considering an institution that conducts its own entrance exam, familiarize yourself with the exam pattern and syllabus.

Hello Aspirant,

From your BITSAT score of 210, BITS Hyderabad entry supports a very focused choice of integrated M.Sc. (like M.Sc. Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Economics or Biology). Generally with this score, admission into the M.Sc. programs at BITS Hyderabad is likely competitive. Based on past trends, the cutoff's for the M.Sc. programs at Hyderabad have ranged 220 to 250. While 210 will typically be below the cutoff marks for most M.Sc. courses, you might still have a small chance / opportunity during the last / spot rounds, provided the cutoff trend is slightly lower that year.
