My NEET PG 2025 AIR rank is 25070 and my score is 499.I am EWS CATEGORY. Can I get any clinical subject in Government college through AIQ

Hey! With an AIR of 25070 and a score of 499 in NEET PG 2025 under EWS category, getting a core clinical branch like General Medicine, Surgery, Ortho, Pediatrics, or OBG in a government college through AIQ will be very tough because cut-offs for these subjects are usually much higher.

But you still have a chance in para-clinical branches (like Pathology, Microbiology, Pharmacology, Forensic, etc.) and in some states during state counselling you may get less demanded clinical branches such as Anesthesia, Radiotherapy or Psychiatry depending on seat availability.

I’ll suggest you keep an eye on both AIQ and State Quota counselling, and also consider DNB seats, since they usually go lower in rank compared to MD/MS in government colleges.

Hello Aspirant,

As an EWS candidate with a score of 499, you are eligible for NEET PG AIQ counselling because your score is above the minimum EIWS cutoff of 276. However, with an AIR of 25,070, your position is outside the Round-1 closing ranks for the most popular clinical branches like General Medicine, General Surgery, or OBGY, which all typically close for EWS candidates within the rank limit of 6,000 - 17,000.

In the subsequent rounds of counselling, the closing rank will typically be higher, and your score is above the "safe score" of 470 - 490. Therefore, you have a realistic chance of getting a seat in a clinical branch in the other rounds of counselling. For the very competitive branches like Radiology or Dermatology, it will be very unlikely for you to get a seat unless your score is much higher (560+)
