All the best for your admission process.

If you’ve appeared for JEE Main, you can apply to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs through JoSAA counselling. These include top government colleges across India, and seat allotment is based on your rank, category, and preferences. Some state universities like DTU, NSUT, and IIIT Delhi accept JEE Main ranks through JAC Delhi counselling. BIT Mesra also admits students based on JEE Main via its own process. For JEE Advanced rank holders, admission to IITs is done through JoSAA based on Advanced rank only.

You did your best in NEET, and it’s okay that you didn’t get a government seat this time. Since it was your first try, and if your heart still beats for becoming a doctor, and you’re ready to give one full focused year, then taking a drop is okay — but only if you’re 100% sure you’ll give it your everything, with no regrets. But if you also like coding or tech, then CSE at IIIT Kalyani is a really nice option too. IIITs are good, and CSE can give you a strong career, good placements, and even chances to go abroad or work at top companies. So just sit for a minute, think what excites you more — medicine or computers — and go with the one that makes you feel happy inside. Both paths are great, you just need to pick the one your heart really wants.

Hello aspirant,
The Kashmiri Migrant quota is a special category with relaxed cutoffs compared to the General category. While General category MBBS seats usually close above 600 marks, Kashmiri Migrant quota MBBS seats in some colleges have gone as low as 330–380 marks depending on the year and seat availability.

The difference in cutoff can be around 200–250 marks lower than General cutoffs in central universities and a few state quotas that offer this reservation (like Delhi, Rajasthan, Maharashtra).

A safe score for MBBS under this quota is usually 380+, though some years candidates have managed with 340–360 in mop-up rounds. Cutoffs vary slightly each year, so aiming above 400 is safest if you're targeting top colleges.
