Hi student! Yes, with a score of 252 in NEET and belonging to the SC category, you have qualified the exam. However, getting a seat in a government medical college for MBBS is quite difficult at this score, since SC category cutoffs for government colleges through both AIQ and state quota usually range much higher, often around 420 or above. Still, you may have a chance in certain private medical colleges, especially those that offer government quota seats. Some states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra tend to have lower cutoffs for SC category candidates in the later rounds of counselling, including mop-up and stray vacancy rounds. You can also explore private medical colleges where the cutoff is relatively low. While the fees are usually higher, some colleges do offer scholarships or financial aid to SC students. Additionally, you might consider BDS or allied health science courses, where the cutoff tends to be more flexible, and opportunities are still good. It is recommended to participate in your state counselling as well as All India counselling, and regularly check cutoff trends and seat availability. Hope this helps!
With 248 marks in NEET 2025 and belonging to the ST category from Gujarat, you have qualified the exam, which is the first step toward admission. However, getting a government MBBS seat may be quite difficult at this score, as the ST cutoff for government colleges in Gujarat usually stays higher—often around 350 to 400 or more. Still, you do have a chance of getting an MBBS seat in a private medical college, especially under the ST category. Gujarat has private colleges that reserve seats for reserved category students, and the cutoffs there are generally lower than government colleges. Your chances improve further during the mop-up or stray vacancy rounds, depending on how seats remain vacant. Make sure to participate in Gujarat state counselling and keep checking for updated cutoff data, especially for private colleges with category-wise seat allotments.
