Hello,

Your rank is pretty high as a general category. And we know mop up round occur if  any seats are left vacant after the second round. In Karnataka 1st counselling started from November 1st week. Then 2nd and mop up round, its very lengthy process.

I think you will try for another colleges in different state also near you.

All the best.

With a NEET UG 2024 score of 500 and Punjab domicile in the General category, you have a good chance for admission in private medical colleges and deemed universities. Government college seats may be out of reach, but management or NRI quotas in private/deemed colleges are viable options. Tuition fees will be higher, so planning is essential, and participating in state and all-India counseling is recommended.

Yes, you can likely cancel your KCET allotted engineering seat after completing 1 year,

The typical window to cancel or surrender KCET allotted seats usually closes after the second or extended round of counselling. Since you have completed year 1, you have missed that window.

The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) might impose a penalty for cancelling your seat after such a long period. The specific penalty amount can vary depending on the course you were allotted and the KEA's regulations.

I hope it helps!

The 7.5% reservation in medical admissions for government school students is currently applicable only in Tamil Nadu, and it benefits students who have studied from class 6 to 12 in state government schools. Since you studied in a government school from class 9 to 12, you would be eligible only if you are from Tamil Nadu, meet the required schooling condition (class 6 to 12), and qualify NEET. However, if you are from any other state, this specific 7.5% quota does not apply, as it is not a national-level reservation but a state-specific policy of Tamil Nadu.

Hello,

First of all, Congratulations on scoring 562 marks in NEET 2025.

With 562 marks, it could be challenging to be selected for a government medical seat in Tamilnadu, if you are MBC. In Tamilnadu Government colleges, MBC applicants are often required to score between 595 to 610. But you can try in government medical colleges through all India quota.

Since the cutoff maybe lower in subsequent rounds, it is advised to take part in all counselling rounds, including mop up rounds.

With a NEET 2024 score of 513 in the RC8 category (Roman Catholic Christian), your chances of getting a seat in St. John’s Medical College, Bangalore are a bit low but still possible.

In 2024, the RC8 category cutoff in round 1 was around 606 marks. But in round 2, the cutoff dropped to about 509 marks. Since your score is 513, it is just above the second-round cutoff, so you may have a chance in round 2 or the mop-up (stray) round if seats are left.

The general category cutoff for this college is much higher—above 680 marks. So admission through general merit is not possible. But if you are applying under the RC8 quota, then you should definitely attend all rounds of counselling and keep checking for updates. RC8 seats are very few, so competition is still high.

Your score is close to the previous year’s cutoff for your category, so you might get admission, but it is not guaranteed.

You should also consider other Christian minority or private medical colleges in Karnataka where the cutoff is a little lower, just in case you don’t get St. John’s.

With 460 marks in NEET 2024 and belonging to the OBC category, getting a government medical college seat in Bangalore is quite competitive. In Karnataka, especially in top government colleges in Bangalore like Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute (BMCRI), the cutoff for OBC category generally goes above 500 marks due to high demand and limited seats.

However, you may still have a good chance of getting a government quota seat in a private medical college in Karnataka through KEA counselling. These are private colleges where the fees are subsidized under the government quota. The cutoff for such seats under the OBC category is often around 440–470 marks, depending on the college and year-wise variation.

So, while a seat in a government medical college in Bangalore might be difficult, you do have a decent chance in private colleges under government quota.

If you are from the ST (Hill) category and you got 200 marks in NEET 2024, and you are trying for admission in Gauhati Medical College, then it may not be possible to get a seat.

Usually, for ST (Hill) category, students who get around 346 to 421 marks are able to get MBBS seats in Assam government colleges. But 200 marks is too low for Gauhati Medical College because it is one of the top colleges and needs a higher rank even in the reserved category.

You can try in other government medical colleges in Assam like Diphu, Tezpur, Dhubri, or Barpeta where the cutoff may be a little lower, but even for these colleges, 200 marks might still be low.

You can also wait and try in mop-up round or check for BDS or private colleges if your budget allows.

Hello Aspirant,

No, a student who has not cleared NEET will not get admission to any course of MBBS in India - whether it is a deemed university, a private college, or a college under the NRI quota.

To conclude, all medical admissions must clear NEET in India, under all types of colleges (government, private, deemed or NRI) and any quota. Deemed universities do not have a separate entrance exam, and if you did not qualify NEET there is no personal admission in deemed universities. Thus, if a student in India wants the NRI quota seats in deemed medical colleges, they still need to qualify NEET in the respective academic year.

Hello Aspirant,

With a score of 250 in NEET considering SC reservation, getting a seat in ESIC Medical College in the IP (Insured Persons) Quota is difficult but not impossible. The cutoff varies depending on the state, college and number of applicants every year. In earlier years, SC candidates in the IP quota needed around 280–320+ for better chances to take admission in prominent ESIC medical colleges.

However, with 250 marks, you might have a chance in less competitive ESIC colleges or during mop-up or stray rounds. It is advisable to participate in counselling and check state-wise ESIC IP quota cutoffs.
