Hello aspirant

Yes, BSc Bioinformatics is offered by several Karnataka colleges through KCET, and admission depends on your aggregate score and KCET rank.

To be eligible, you need to have passed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology and scored at least 50 percent marks (45 percent in case of SC/ST) in these subjects combined.

In terms of KCET rank, seats for BSc Bioinformatics usually fill up fast as it's a popular course. Based on trends, a KCET rank between 5,000 and 20,000 (overall) could help you secure admission in reputable colleges through general category quota. Reserved category quotas may allow slightly higher ranks.

If you're confident of achieving around that rank, you'll likely have a good chance. Otherwise, you can also consider colleges that admit based on merit without KCET, which usually require the same 50 percent in biology, chemistry and physics.

Hope this helps!

Hello,

You have a solid career possibilities in healthcare and related sectors through private institutions or in AYUSH and paramedical courses, but it is very improbable that you would be accepted into a government college with an MBBS all BDS seat if your Neet 2025 score is 145 and you fall into the SC category.

The GPAT, or Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test, serves as a primary gateway for admission to M.Pharm programs and is also crucial for securing fellowships such as NIPER JEE and the AICTE PG Scholarships.

When discussing the “merit score” in GPAT, it typically refers to the minimum score or percentile candidates need to achieve to be considered for admission to top institutions or to qualify for specific scholarships. Essentially, it’s a benchmark—those who meet or exceed it are eligible for further consideration.

To provide clarity, here are the recent trends regarding merit scores across different categories:

- General / EWS:A score in the range of 140 to 160 is usually necessary, placing candidates within the top 10–15% (up to approximately 5,000th rank).

- OBC:Applicants generally need to score between 120 and 140, which corresponds to ranks up to around 8,000.

- SC/ST: For these categories, a score between 90 and 115 is typically sufficient, extending eligibility up to the 15,000th rank.

- PwD: Candidates in this category often qualify with scores between 75 and 100, covering ranks up to 20,000.

It is important to note that these figures are approximate and may vary slightly each year, depending on the overall performance of candidates and the number of available seats. Achieving a score at or above the merit threshold enhances one’s prospects for admission and scholarships, but higher scores often translate to broader opportunities and greater flexibility in college selection.

Hello,

Achieving 180 marks in NEET 2025 could allow for admission to a BAMS program in a private medical college in Maharashtra, particularly under the management or institutional quota, subject to cut-off trends and seat availability. Government colleges typically need higher NEET scores, whereas private Ayurvedic colleges usually have more lenient cut-offs, especially for applicants from reserved categories or those seeking admission under state quota. Nevertheless, as cut-offs can change annually depending on applicant numbers, exam difficulty, and seat availability, it’s essential to engage in the state counselling organized by the Maharashtra State CET Cell and consistently check for updates on choice filling, merit lists, and seat allocation. Moreover, you might think about including some semi-private or less prominent institutions in your list to enhance your opportunities.

Hope this helps. All the best!
