Hello Arpita,

Your marks of 495 out of 720 in NEET (UG) 2022 examination is unfortunately not making you eligible to get any MBBS Seat in Odisha. This absolutely doesn't mean that your score is poor. 495 is really a good score but here in NEET you have to face a very tough competition.

You just lack around 70 to 100 marks to get MBBS seat in Odisha Government Medical Colleges. Since this marks difference is very little, you should definitely go for a Year Drop . This will boost your preparation as now you already have a better experience.

Just be more concentrated and reduce your silly mistakes. Study more wisely and smartly and you will definitely crack NEET.

You also have an option to go for Government Dental Colleges or BAMS, BHMS, BPT, etc. But, I will strongly recommend you to go for Drop because trust me you deserve MBBS Seat in Government Medical College.
