Hi Sumanth,

Let me get back straight to your question, yes, 400+ may get you government college but not limit yourself upto  just little more than 400 .

As you have mentioned your home-state as Telangana, so we look at the last year minimum mark or say it cutoff for a SC student to get a government college then it was 426.

Just one or two more marks may or may not fetch you a government college as cutoff varies every year depending upon difficulty level of paper, number of students sitting in exam, and number of seats. As by the tone of your questions it is clear that you still have attempts for NEET, so I will suggest you to score something around 460-470 to be on safer side and to get a good government college.

Hi

It is difficult to say that whether you can get a seat in a government medical college or not as cut off  marks to get a seat in a medical college is quite difficult but when we go through previous year trends then

With 400 marks your chances for government medical colleges is low.

For example,

In neet 2019 ,  426 for sc category was the cut off marks/ lowest marks  that got an mbbs seat in a government medical college under Telangana  state quota  and it was for GOVT MEDICAL COLLEGE, SURYAPET

You can check the same at

https://medicine.careers360.com/articles/neet-cutoff-telangana

But yes,

cut  off   marks / rank   for medical colleges keeps changing every year  depending upon various factors like  number of students that appeared in the neet examination, kind of marks obtained by students  in neet , toughness level of the neet examination, number of seats available etc.

So ,  you should try to get at least 50 marks  more in comparison of Neet 2019 in your Neet 2021 Examination to be on the safer side, so you should try to get at least around 475 marks.

Now , limited time is left for your neet 2021 examination, so focus on preparation, go through the chapters , practise questions and then revise them, go through mock test papers once you are done with complete syllabus. To help you in your preparation we have neet knockout for you :- https://learn.careers360.com/knockout-neet

Thank you
