Hi Aspirant,

Your NEET score of three hundred eighty five and belonging to the SC category places you within the reservation quota for government medical colleges in Tamil Nadu Admission to MBBS is conducted through state counselling and All India Quota counselling The key factors that determine your chances are cut off trends previous year closing scores category quota and the number of seats available under SC reservation

Category eligibility criteria
You have qualified under the SC category reservation State medical colleges in Tamil Nadu set aside a percentage of seats specifically for SC candidates This increases your chance compared to the general category admissions provided your score meets or exceeds the SC category cut off

Previous year SC category cut off trends
In recent years admission cut offs for SC candidates at top government medical colleges in Tamil Nadu ranged between two hundred to three hundred marks For example in a prominent government college the closing NEET score for SC was around two hundred fifty the next tier closed around two hundred ten and lesser known colleges needed about one sixty to two hundred marks This means that your score of three hundred eighty five is above the closing marks in prior years and gives you a strong position

All India Quota and Tamil Nadu State Counselling
Tamil Nadu participates in two admission streams
State quota which includes state board merit and category reservation
All India Quota which is a nationally open quota with its own cut offs for SC candidates In state counselling your score matters compared to other SC candidates in Tamil Nadu In AIQ counselling your category rank is compared with SC candidates across India

Estimated chances based on score
Your NEET score of three hundred eighty five is comfortably above past SC cut offs for most government medical colleges in Tamil Nadu You are likely to secure admission unless the number of applications and score trends change dramatically
For the top medical colleges such as those at Chennai Vellore and Madurai cut offs for SC category still remained below three hundred
Mid tier colleges closed around two hundred to two hundred thirty
Lesser known government colleges closed lower making your score strong across the board

Counselling process and strategy
Register for NEET counselling for both AIQ and Tamil Nadu state quota Participate in both processes for maximum opportunity In state process include all strong government colleges at the top of your preferences followed by others based on your score Ensure that you lock choice options before each round to secure seat allotment
Attend document verification with caste certificate educational certificate proof of age identity proof and NEET scorecard
Pay admission fees on time to confirm seat and avoid losing it to the next candidate

Alternative pathways if state seats fill
Even if seats at top colleges close early your score remains above closing marks of many government colleges Decide whether to join the allotted college or wait for spot rounds or mop up rounds in case you wish to upgrade Choose related courses such as BAMS or BVSc which have lower cut offs if you do not get MBBS seat quickly

Tips for the process
Stay updated with official cutoff trends as they are released each round
Keep a backup plan in case counselling rules change or seats fill early
Consult with peers or mentors who have gone through Tamil Nadu medical counselling
Have all required original documents ready on the day of verification.

Hello Aspirant,

For Indian and international students, an MBBS from Georgia is a good option for the students who are seeking affordable, English medium medical education abroad. Georgian medical universities are recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and listed in the World Directory of the Medical Schools (WDOMS). Many Georgian universities are also recognised by the National Medical Commission (NMC) of India, permitting graduates of Georgian medical universities to appear for the FMGE/NExT exam and be licensed to practice in India.

What to do after MBBS from Georgia?

Once you have finished your MBBS from Georgia, there are many possibilities:

1. Return to India – Appear for FMGE/NExT and clear it in order to practice in India or take-up post-graduate (MD/MS) in India.
2. Pursue PG abroad – Appear for USMLE (USA), PLAB (UK) or AMC (Australia) to pursue PG studies and licensing.
3. Practice in Georgia or EU – If you obtain licensure, you can work or specialize in Georgia or some of the EU countries.
4. Research / Public health careers – Some students will make a move towards non-clinical careers; research, healthcare management or public health.

Make sure to choose NMC approved universities and start preparing for licensing examinations early so the transition after MBBS is smooth.

HEY THERE!!!

With a NEET 2025 score of 252, prospects for securing an MBBS seat in deemed universities in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, or Pondicherry—even under the management quota— are exceedingly slim .

Typically, the cutoff for such institutions hovers well above 400 or even 500 marks.

A score in the lower range may make you eligible for B-category seats in certain private colleges, but realistically, gaining admission to MBBS programs in deemed universities within these states is not feasible with 252 marks.

Hello,

Scoring 316 in NEET makes it quite hard to get a government seat in India, especially in MBBS. Private colleges are very costly, so many students look at options like Nepal.

Studying MBBS in Nepal is not a bad option. The syllabus is similar to India, the language used is mostly English, and the culture is also quite close to India. Many Indian students go there every year.

But before deciding, think about these points:

• Do you want to drop a year and try again? If you are confident and ready to work hard, you can give NEET one more try.

• Can your family afford Nepal MBBS fees? MBBS in Nepal is cheaper than private colleges in India but still costs a good amount.

• Are the colleges in Nepal recognised by NMC (India)? Only choose NMC-approved colleges, or your degree won't be valid in India.

So, yes, going to Nepal is not a bad decision, but dropping a year is also an option if you are serious about improving your NEET score.

Hope it helps !

With a NEET 2025 score of 420, getting MBBS in a government college in India is tough, but you might get BDS in some government colleges depending on your category and state. If you're open to studying MBBS abroad, it can be a good option, especially in countries like Russia, Georgia, or the Philippines. Just make sure the college is NMC-approved. Choose based on your budget, interest, and long-term goals. Both paths can lead to a good medical career.
