Hello Aspirant,

Yes, it is possible to pursue an MBA in finance after B.com. MBA in finance is one of the most pursued specializations by commerce graduates and is a popular course offered by several universities and B-schools in India and abroad.

If you get a seat in a self-finance medical college through state quota in the 1st round, you can still participate in the 2nd round of counselling, but certain rules apply.

• Seat Upgradation : If allotted a better seat in the 2nd round, your 1st-round seat is automatically cancelled.

• No Allotment : If no seat is allotted in the 2nd round, your 1st-round seat remains valid.

• Fresh Registration : Some states require fresh registration for each round.

• Choice Filling : Lock your preferred colleges and indicate if you want seat upgradation.

• Seat Forfeiture : Withdrawing after 2nd round may lead to loss of seat and fees.

• Reporting : Accepting a 2nd-round seat requires reporting to the allotted college on time.

• State Rules : Procedures may vary by state; always check the official counselling portal.

Hello,

Yes, even if you get into a self financing medical institution the state quota in the first round, you can still take part in the second and third rounds of counselling for both the state and all India quota. If a better choice becomes available in later rounds, you may also be able to switch from a state quota seats to an all India quota.

If you get a seat in a self-financing medical college through state quota in the 1st round, you can still participate in further 2nd and 3rd rounds of counselling, but this depends on the rules of the respective state counselling and MCC guidelines.

Regarding shifting to All India Quota, if a seat is allotted to you in the 3rd round of state quota counselling, you cannot opt for AIQ in the same academic year because AIQ counselling is conducted before or alongside state quota rounds, and once a seat is confirmed under state quota, you are generally locked into that seat.

If your MBA (Finance) is from an accredited university and you have at least 55% of the possible points (or 50% for reserved categories), you can take the UGC NET in Commerce.
Your MBA in finance is relevant because UGC NET Commerce covers business, accounting, finance, economics, and management topics.
If you are well-versed in the fundamentals of commerce, pick commerce.

As an alternative, you can choose UGC NET Management, which is closely related to MBA courses.
Your subject-matter expertise and career objectives should guide your decision.

With 360 marks in NEET 2025 and a state rank around 19,000, getting an MBBS seat in a self-financed (private) medical college is possible, but it will likely be through management/NRI quota seats, not merit seats.

Self-financed private medical colleges in lower-ranked institutions (especially in states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, or Uttar Pradesh) may offer you a seat in the later counselling rounds.

Be prepared for higher tuition fees (8-20 lakh per annum) under management quota.

Yes Seenu, with ICET rank 24,569 you have a decent chance to get a seat in SVU, Tirupati under the self-finance category, especially if you're from OBC/SC/ST or local region. Cutoff for self-finance is usually higher than regular, so keep hope and attend counselling rounds.

In ICET (Andhra Pradesh or Telangana), MBA Finance cut-off marks differ by college and category. Generally, a rank below 10,000 is safe for top MBA colleges like Andhra University, SVU, Osmania, and JNTU campuses. For MBA Finance specialization, specific cut-offs aren’t always published separately, but overall MBA admission scores are considered. As a general guide, a score of 100+ in ICET provides access to quality institutions. Reserved categories (SC/ST/BC) have relaxed cut-offs. Check the official ICET counseling portal for the institute-wise cut-off ranks.

It is not a mistake that CSE, ECE, and EEE branches are not showing in mock counselling of TG EAPCET 2025 under self finance category in JNTU Hyderabad, because mock counselling is only for practice and not full list is given, colleges sometimes show only few branches to help students understand the process, so you do not need to worry, in the real counselling round, full options like CSE, ECE, and EEE will come according to your rank and college seat availability, mock counselling is just to try and learn how to select options and understand allotment steps, it does not mean that branches are removed, when first round starts officially, all proper courses will be shown, so you must wait and check again during actual counselling and then fill the choices carefully, do not panic by seeing only MMS and MET in mock list, the full branches will come at the correct time, just follow the schedule and updates from official website and be ready with your list of choices.
