Good afternoon with a NEET PG score of 414, getting MS Orthopedics in a government college under All India Quota (AIQ) for the General category is highly unlikely, as the expected cutoff for MS Ortho in 2025 is around 490–497 out of 800.

What Are Your Options? State Quota (if applicable)

Private medical colleges

Deemed universities

State government colleges (reserved seats)

DNB Orthopedics

DNB (Diplomate of National Board) programs in Orthopedics are a strong alternative. With 414, you can target:

Mid-tier private hospitals

Some government-affiliated DNB institutes

Rural or semi-urban setups with good hands-on exposure

Management Quota

If budget permits, private colleges under management quota may offer MS Ortho seats at this score.

What You Can Do Now

Track MCC and state counselling rounds closely.

Explore DNB options—I can help shortlist hospitals with good surgical exposure.

Consider backup branches like MS ENT, MS Ophthalmology, or MD Anaesthesia, which may be available at this score.

Hello aspirant,

MS Orthopaedics is one of the toughest and most demanded PG branches. For a general category candidate, usually above 500 marks are required to get Ortho in a government college. With 414 marks, your chances for MS Ortho in government institutes are very low. However, you can explore options in private colleges through state counselling and in deemed universities, though fees will be much higher. Another possible route is DNB Orthopaedics, where you may find some options depending on cut-offs, but even there, the chances are slim.

Best of luck!

With a rank near 70K, MS Orthopaedics in government colleges via AIQ isn’t realistically available. Your best options now are to look at private or deemed universities, where Orthopaedics cutoffs in some states (like Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh) can extend beyond 70,000 though fees are typically high and branch availability can vary sharply.

Hello,

With marks of 414 in PG NEET, to get an MS Orthopedics seat in India is very unlikely in a government college but not impossible. Also, you have a very good chance in the deemed or private universities. So, you can go for the private options rather than government institutions.

I hope it will clear your query!!

With your mark getting into govt colleges will be hard because you need 500 plus mark to get the govt college because they need higher cutoff for ms ortho you can try for any other private institutions they can get seats easily with your marks if you are looking for any specific college try to look their official website for more information

Hello,

With 414 marks in NEET PG 2025 (UR category), chances for MS Orthopaedics in top government colleges through All India Quota are very low, as the cutoff is usually much higher (around 600+).

However, you may get a seat in some private or state quota colleges, where cutoffs for Orthopaedics are lower (around 350–450 marks in recent years). It is better to take part in counselling and also keep state quota and private colleges as options.

Hope it helps !

Hey:)

With 414 NEET PG (UR), getting MS orthopedics in a government college is very unlikely ,since cutoffs usually close much earlier.You might still have a chance in DNB ortho if your AIR is on the stronger side,but its not guaranteed. The safer and more realistic option is through private or deemed colleges, where orthopedics seat extend to much lower ranks, though fees will be higher around 30-40 lakhs depending on the college.If you're flexible, you can explore DNB programs at reputed hospitals,ehich offers good recognition and exposure eith comparatively lower costs.

Overall your chances depend on your exact AIR, and your willingness towards private/deemed colleges.

All the best!
