Hello aspirant

Thank you for sharing your score. You have surpassed the General category qualifying mark of 144, so you’re fully eligible for counselling and seat allocation.

For All India Quota (AIQ) 15% seats, the closing score for General category candidates is typically around 660–650 based on recent years. With 475 marks, securing an AIQ seat is highly unlikely.

Under the 85% State Quota in Karnataka, the qualifying range for General category typically started from 162 marks up to 720, depending on the round. For actual admissions, government colleges usually closed between 650 and 700 marks. With your score, you are below most government cutoff ranges, which means chances of MBBS in Karnataka government colleges will be difficult.

Hope this helps.

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!

• Availability of Government Medical Colleges for High NEET Ranks: An Analysis

Recent data from platforms like Career360 indicate that several government medical colleges (GMCs) in India admit candidates with All India Quota (AIQ) ranks extending up to 9–10 lakhs. This document provides a structured overview of these trends, focusing on cutoffs and admission patterns.

• 1. GMC Cutoff Trends

GMC Kota (2024):

- AIQ closing rank for General-PwD category reached 5,82,000.

- In previous years, closing ranks exceeded 6,40,000.

• - Smaller/State-Level GMCs:

- States such as Chhattisgarh: AIQ opening ranks began around 17,000–18,000; closing ranks reached nearly 1,00,000.

1. -Haryana:

- General category opening ranks ranged from 7,500–15,000.

- Closing ranks surpassed 20,000.

1. Telangana:

- General category AIQ opening ranks started at 2,300; closing ranks extended beyond 80,000.

• 2. Additional Admission Pathways

AIQ Seat Distribution: Only 15% of total seats are filled via the All India Quota; many candidates with lower ranks secure admission through respective state quotas.

- Multiple Counseling Rounds: In subsequent rounds, closing ranks often reach into the hundreds of thousands.

- PwD Categories: Significantly lower cutoff ranks are observed for Persons with Disabilities (PwD) categories.

- Low-Demand States:GMCs in states with fewer applicants often have higher closing ranks, sometimes admitting students with very high All India Ranks (AIR).

• 3. Conclusion

Yes,Colleges remain accessible for candidates with AIRs in the 5–9 lakh range, particularly:

- In later counseling rounds,

- Within PwD or other disadvantaged categories,

- Or in government colleges located in states with lower demand or underfilled quotas.

This analysis highlights that, while competition remains intense, opportunities persist for candidates with higher ranks, especially when leveraging state quotas or category-based reservations.

Hey! With 106 marks in NEET 2025, getting admission to a government BDS seat is not likely, but you still have a chance through management quota in private dental colleges across India. These seats are usually open to students with lower NEET scores, especially during the mop-up and stray vacancy rounds of counselling.

To get started, make sure you register for counselling in your state or in states that allow open-state applications like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, or Uttar Pradesh. Even private colleges admit students strictly through the NEET counselling process, so it's important to stay updated on counselling schedules and apply on time.

Management quota seats can be expensive, with annual fees ranging from eight to fifteen lakhs, depending on the college and state. But if you're determined to pursue BDS, this path is still a valid option.

All the best!
