Janani, it depends on your Category and the State you belong to. Now we have Government Medical Colleges, Private Medical Colleges, Deemed/Central Universities across India. Private Medical Colleges do not participate in All India Counselling and the seats are filled through State Counselling alone. And for appearing for State Counselling you need to hold the domicile of that particular State. Or else the only other option is through Management Quota. Under All India Quota, All the 15% of All India Quota Seats except for Jammu and Kashmir, 100% Seats at Deemed and Central Universities, IP Quota seats in ESIC Colleges, Seats at AFMC are filled by DGHS. The 85% State Quota and Private Colleges are filled by the respective State Authorities. And there are 3 Categories in Private Medical Colleges. Category A is the Government Quota Seats. And only candidates of the home State are eligible to apply for these seats. B Category seats are also called Management Quota Seats and they are filled through State Counselling and remaining seats are filled through direct Admissions by contacting the College directly. Here the fees is usually nothing less than 40 lakhs. The last Category is NRI seats Category and you cannot apply for that. Sonif you belong to General Category, you might need atleast 550 and above for a seat in GMC. For Govt. quota seat in Private Medical Colleges you will need 450 atleast. Now if you belong to Reserved Categories, for GMC you will need atleast 500 and for Private Medical Colleges, it should be 400 and above. 400 might get you only a Management Quota seat.
