In most states, for SC category students, the minimum PCB requirement for medical and dental courses is around 40%. With 39% in PCB, you’re just 1% short of the usual eligibility, which could make government MBBS or BDS seats difficult to secure even with a qualifying NEET score. Your NEET 2025 score of 145 meets the minimum qualifying criteria for SC category, but competition for government seats is high, and most closing scores are much higher. However, all is not lost. You can still explore private or deemed universities where the rules may have slight flexibility, especially under management quota seats. In addition, you might want to look into alternative but respected medical-related programs such as BAMS (Ayurvedic Medicine), BHMS (Homeopathy), BPT (Physiotherapy), or B.Sc Nursing, which have lower entry thresholds and growing job demand. Some states also have allied health science courses in lab technology, optometry, or radiology, which are in high demand in hospitals. My advice—apply widely, including in states where you may have better chances, and don’t limit yourself to only MBBS.
