Hi Arul,

Thanks for reaching out!

Government colleges: With 540 marks in NEET under general category,7,300 rank in Kerala, your score is considered decent.but it's unlikely that you'll get a govt.MBBS seat, as general category cut-offs are usually higher(above 600).

Private colleges:

Seats under merit- quota is also quite competitive in Kerala,often requiring around 560-580+so,you might be close but not guaranteed.

You can consider Jubliee Mission,Sree Gokulam Colleges, though fees are higher.

In Kerala even private colleges tend to have competitive merit ranks due to fewer seats and high demand

Attend councelling, explore more private options, consider BDS,BAMS or paramedical courses.

Hello

With 198 marks in NEET and ST category , you are not eligible for MBBS in Odisha government colleges . ST cutoff is usually around 400+.

Other Options:

Try private colleges (chances still low).

Consider B.Sc Nursing, BAMS or paramedical courses.

Repeat NEET for a better score.

hope this helps you .

A NEET score of 396 is a decent score, but getting a government MBBS seat under AIQ is very tough, even for general category students. As you belong to the OCI category, the chances are more limited because government MBBS seats are usually not open to OCI candidates anymore, OCI students usually have to apply under the NRI/Management quota in private colleges, where fees are higher. But don’t worry about your score you might have a chance in private medical colleges through NRI/Management quota. Some semi-government or deemed universities may consider you under their institutional quota, based on their rules.

Wishing you all the best for your admission!

Hello,

It is extremely in probable that a person with a neet 2025 score of 318 will be accepted into a semi government MBBS institutions final stages of the common admission process, particularly for the general category. Altho 318 is a respectable score, it is below the usual threshold for these kinds of colleges.

Hello

Government MBBS Colleges (AIQ 15%)

Not possible at this rank.

Government medical colleges under AIQ close at much higher scores, even for EWS (usually 490–510+ marks).

EWS reservation is competitive and not enough to offset the low score.

Government MBBS (State Quota 85%)

Chance is still very low, but:

If you're from a less competitive state (e.g., some Northeastern states, Uttarakhand, etc.) and EWS, there is a very slim possibility in the last round (stray vacancy).

Check your home state cutoffs under EWS — still, MBBS government colleges often close around 420–450+ marks under EWS.

Private MBBS Colleges

You can get a seat in private MBBS colleges, especially under:

Management quota: Fees  10–18 lakhs/year

EWS seat in private (if available in your state): Still rare and requires >350 marks in many states

I think You Should Do:

Register for your State NEET UG Counselling

Consider private college options

Look at alternative options like BDS, BAMS, BHMS, BPT, if you want to stay in India at lower cost

Hello Aspirant,

With an AIR (All India Rank) of 1,60,000 in NEET and in the OC (Open Category) there is a very slim chance of getting an MBBS seat in a government medical college, especially in General Category seats through All India Quota (AIQ), but here are some options:

1. MBBS in Private Colleges: You could get a seat in a private medical college through the state quota, especially in Tier 2/3 states where the cutoffs are relatively lower. The fee would be high compared to government colleges.
2. BDS Seats: You have fair chances for BDS in both government & private dental colleges under the state quota.
3. Deemed Universities: Some deemed universities may offer MBBS seats at this rank but the fee is exorbitantly high (15 to 25 lakhs/year).
4. Management/NRI Quota: If you can afford, you can explore MBBS through management/NRI quota seats in private colleges.
5. Alternatives: You can think of allied health science courses such as BAMS, BHMS, B.Sc Nursing etc., which also have good career scope.

You can also participate in state counselling rounds, as sometimes, seats remain vacant/unfilled, including mop-up rounds.

Hello aspirant,

Some of the private medical colleges in Madhya Pradesh around your score are,

• Shri Aurobindo Medical College and Postgraduate Institute
• Ruxmanuben Deepchand  Gardi Medical College
