• With a NEET 2025 score of 231 and being from the SC category , getting an MBBS seat in a government or semi-government medical college is highly unlikely.
• As SC cut-offs usually range between 480–520 marks.
• However, you can explore options like BDS , BAMS , BHMS , B.Sc. Nursing , or paramedical courses . MBBS abroad (in NMC-approved colleges) is also an option if you're open to it.
