The tuition fee per year for MBBS depends on the type of college: Government colleges: 10,000 to 1,50,000 per year Private colleges: 7 lakh to 15 lakh per year Deemed universities: 10 lakh to 25 lakh per year

If your NEET 2025 rank is 68,000, then your chances of getting MBBS in a government medical college depend on your category and state quota

If you score 417 marks in NEET and you belong to the SC category then you have some chances of getting a government MBBS seat especially through state quota Government college cutoffs for SC category are usually lower compared to general category However your chances also depend on your state cutoff trends number of applicants and seat availability You should participate in both All India Quota and State Quota counselling to increase your chances Also keep backup options like BDS or private medical colleges in mind

Hello aspirant,

The cut off of general quota for government medical college is expected to be 550 which is somewhat higher than your score. So it is unlikely for you to get a government medical college seat. But, I suggest you to keep hope till last round of counselling and also take in consideration private colleges.

Best of luck for your future.

Hello,

Achieving 231 marks in NEET 2025 within the ST category provides a slight chance of obtaining an MBBS seat through the state quota in select North Eastern states, even though it might be quite difficult. Regions such as Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Meghalaya, where there are fewer medical aspirants and a greater reserved quota for Scheduled Tribes, may see cutoffs in the lower spectrum, occasionally around 250–300 marks for ST candidates. Nevertheless, 231 marks fall just short of those lower-range thresholds, meaning MBBS admission may not be guaranteed. Nonetheless, you might still find opportunities in private medical colleges, government-aided private institutions, or through BDS, BAMS, or BHMS programs, which generally have lower cutoffs. It is strongly advised to engage in the counselling process of your home state and keep track of mop-up and stray vacancy rounds, during which occasional spots become available due to withdrawals.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Hi Shlok,

Generally, getting a rank below 20,000 is considered safe for getting an easy admission into an MBBS government college even with OBC category. While the admission in a government MBBS college is difficult, there are still chances in few low tier colleges as most of the government colleges of many states the max cut off for OBC ends around 25,000 rank. If you still face any issue then you may opt for private institutions.

With 407 marks in NEET 2025 and being a Muslim, your chances for an MBBS seat in Jamia Hamdard (Delhi) depend on the quota.

Under the Muslim minority quota, the cut-off is slightly lower than the general category, but in 2024 it was around 440+ marks, so at 407 the chance is low.

There might be a small possibility in the mop-up round if seats remain vacant.

Hi Ayush,

We understand your concern, as NEET is a very competitive exam you need at least 550 or more to get admission into a decent MBBS college not a top tier college as it would require 650 to 700 marks in NEET.

Now, it is good as you are keeping BDS/ BAMS or BHMS as backup option and then reappearing for NEET exam next year. But, be sure that you can simultaneously prepare for NEET while studying BAMS.

If you strongly feel to pursue for MBBS then you may even take a complete year drop with good preparation for 2026 NEET exam but if you want to minimize the risk, it is better to opt for BAMS/ BDS and then trying your luck again in 2026 exam.

Hello aspirant!

MBBS colleges under the management quota are usually private medical colleges that reserve a certain number of seats for students who may not have very high NEET scores but are willing to pay higher tuition fees. These seats are filled through state counselling, and eligibility still depends on qualifying NEET.

Most private medical colleges in states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana offer management quota seats. The cutoffs are generally lower compared to government seats, and scores around 250 to 400 can sometimes be enough, depending on the state and college.

Fees for management quota seats are higher. It can range anywhere between 10 to 25 lakhs per year, depending on the college and location. In some cases, colleges also offer NRI quota seats, which cost even more.

Hope this helps and good luck!
