Hello,

It may be difficult, but not impossible, to get into a prestigious Indian medical college through the NRI quota with 152 NEET 2025 scores. Although there may still be fierce competition for these spots, private and government colleges with NRI quotas are viable choices.

For information on these colleges' precise eligibility requirements, cost schedules, and application processes for NRI quota seats, get in touch with the admissions offices.

Hello,

You have very little chance of gaining and MBBS seat through The NRI quota with 152 NEET 2025 scores, but it is still feasible. Few important considerations are your budget, college preference, and open seats in the stray vacancy rounds.

Even for NRI seats, elite private/deemed institutions (Kasturba, KMC, SRM, Amrita, etc.) demand better NEET scores.

However, in the mop - up aur stray vacancy rounds, several lower tire private medical institutions in states like Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh could grant NRI Kota seats.

Requirements:

• Valid NRI documents(passport, sponsorships letter, and NRI affidavit) are required.
• Early registration on the MCC and the corresponding state counselling portals.
• Pay attention to the counselling offered by Deemed University (via MCC)

Hello Aspirant,

While having 152 marks in NEET 2025 does not disqualify you from studying MBBS through NRI, opportunities will be very limited depending on the state and college. You may still be able to enter a deemed private university or a self-funded medical college in places like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka or Uttar Pradesh that offers NRI seats with a lower cutoff, but under the NRI quota your fees are significantly higher. Here are the recommendations you can keep that in mind:

• Look at deemed universities like SRM, Saveetha, Manipal, or DY Patil that have NRI seats.
• Check the updates from the MCC (Medical Counselling Committee) and State counselling universities.
• You will have to provide valid NRI sponsorship documents.
  
  

With your NEET 2025 score of 468, All India Rank 94,389, and OBC category rank 45,702, it will be very difficult to get a government MBBS seat in Bihar.

In Bihar, government medical colleges usually close around 630 to 680 marks for general and OBC categories. Even for EBC students, the cut-off is much higher than your score. So, getting a seat in top colleges like Patna Medical College, Darbhanga Medical College, or IGIMS Patna is not possible with 468 marks.

Under All India Quota, the competition is even tougher. You need a score above 600 to get a seat in any government medical college through AIQ.

But you still have some options. You can try for private MBBS colleges in Bihar where the cut-off is lower, though the fees will be much higher. You may also get a seat in BAMS (Ayurveda), BHMS (Homeopathy), or BPT (Physiotherapy) in government or private colleges. These courses require lower NEET scores and have more availability.

If your budget is around 20 to 40 lakhs, you can also explore MBBS in other states or even abroad.

Hello,

Achieving an MBBS seat in a government college in Karnataka through the AIQ (15% All India Quota) is extremely improbable with an All India Rank (AIR) of 2,71,334 in NEET 2025. AIQ seats are highly contested, and candidates in the general category generally require an AIR between 60,000 and 70,000, with NEET scores often exceeding 600 to obtain a seat in a government college. Moreover, the cutoffs for UR candidates in Karnataka’s state quota are approximately between 520 and 550 marks, significantly above your present score.

Nevertheless, do not dismiss counselling completely. You remain qualified to take part in both AIQ and state counselling, which may provide opportunities for private or semi-government medical colleges in Karnataka. For instance, certain semi-government and minority colleges allocate seats at lower ranks—although the fees could be considerably greater.

Hope this helps. All the best!

If you made your Maharashtra domicile in November 2024, it is still valid for your MBBS admission in 2025. You will not need to apply for it again during counselling.

Domicile certificates typically remain valid for several years unless the rules say otherwise. Just make sure to keep a copy ready and check your profile during counselling. If the document is uploaded correctly, you should be all set.

Hello,

The cutoff will may go above 550+ for MBBS and 450+ for BDS in prestigious government colleges, it is quite improbable that someone with 355 marks will be accepted into an MBBS or BDS seat under AIQ for general category. However, MBBS places may be available at certain deemed colleges, but the cost is quite costly.

Depending on the state cutoff and the quantity of seats available, you might have an opportunity to obtain a government MBBS seat in your state under the 85% state quota.

For BDS

Government colleges: A government BDS seat in the general category is unlikely to be obtained with score of 355,

Private colleges: Through management or NRI quotas, you might have a greater chance of getting a BDS seat at a private dental college.

If you have scored 296 marks in NEET 2025 and you belong to the SC category with a rank of 46339, then you may have a fair chance of getting a government MBBS seat in Karnataka under the state quota. Generally, the cutoff marks for SC category candidates in Karnataka are lower compared to the general category due to reservation benefits. In previous years, SC candidates with similar marks have secured seats in some government medical colleges in Karnataka. However, the chances of admission depend on the number of available seats, the difficulty level of the exam in that year, the total number of applicants, and the category-wise cutoff. Therefore, you are advised to attend the state counselling conducted by the Karnataka Examination Authority, fill in as many choices as possible, and stay updated with the counselling schedule. You are also encouraged to apply for All India Quota seats, as a few reserved seats may also be available in other states.
