With 145 marks in NEET 2025 (SC category), you are eligible for counseling, and may get a seat in private BAMS colleges, where the cut-offs are lower—but fees will be higher. Getting a government BAMS seat is very unlikely, as the cut-off is usually above 350 marks. A safe score range for admission to prestigious government BAMS colleges in the SC category would be between 450 and 550.

Consider alternative medical courses like Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS), Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS), Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.Sc. Nursing), and Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT).

Hello

Top colleges like BJ Medical Ahmedabad close around 14,000–15,000 rank for SC and below 3,000 for General. Mid-level colleges like Jamnagar or Bhavnagar close near 60,000–90,000 (SC). Colleges under GMERS may go up to 1.6 lakh rank for SC. So even if your score is moderate, you still have a chance. This year, fewer students appeared from Gujarat, so cutoffs might drop slightly. Keep checking the counselling updates and fill your preferences smartly

• This time, cutoffs are expected to be lower, making seats more accessible. Just be aware of the latest notification.

If you are from Tamil Nadu and want an MBBS seat in management quota, you must clear NEET first. Management seats in private medical colleges usually cost between twelve lakh and twenty five lakh rupees every year. You have to pay more than government seats, and SC students must pay too because these are private seats. You can use the Career360 app to check management quota fees for different colleges, see details about seats and payment rules, and get ready for counselling based on your rank and documents.

With an All India Rank (AIR) of 232619 in NEET 2025, securing a government MBBS seat in Assam, especially under the North East quota, is highly unlikely. For MBBS, the competition is intense, and government colleges typically have cutoffs much higher than your rank. However, there's a slightly better chance with BAMS or veterinary seats, but it still depends on the specific college and category.

You will get call from MBBS counselling when the result of your exam is out and your name is in the merit list After that the state or national counselling will start step by step First they will give notice on official website with dates and schedule then you must do registration and upload your documents like marks card aadhar photo and others After that they will check your details and if everything is okay they will give you a call or message or email for counselling round You can then choose college and seat as per your rank and category So wait for result and keep checking the website every day for counselling dates and updates You will get the call only if your rank is within the cut off and your papers are correct.

Hello

With an All India Rank (AIR) of 76,186 in NEET 2025 and OBC-NCL category from Odisha, your chances for MBBS admission in government medical colleges in Odisha through state quota depend on the cutoff trends and number of seats available.

In Odisha, OBC-NCL cutoffs for government medical colleges usually fall between 35,000 – 55,000 for MBBS. At a rank of 76,000, your chances in government colleges are low but not entirely zero if:

Cutoffs drop significantly this year

You have some rural service quota or PWD reservation

You apply for BDS or private MBBS

Wait for Odisha NEET counselling schedule (usually starts in July-end or early August).

If you didn't get government college you can explore private colleges like Hi-Tech Medical College (Bhubaneswar or Rourkela), KIMS, etc.

If you are getting a 65,000 rank in NEET and plan to join a veterinary college while preparing for NEET again, you'll likely be able to secure admission to a government veterinary college. If you get a better rank next year and choose to discontinue your veterinary studies to pursue MBBS, some colleges may impose a discontinuation penalty. However, the specific details of these penalties (amount, conditions, etc.) vary from college to college and may not be explicitly stated in the prospectus.

Hello aspirant,

According to your score it is most unlikely to get medical college seat anywhere in India. Because the cutoff of Medical colleges is above 550 which is much higher than your score.

If you want pursue MBBS, then you can try management seats, or you can try other courses like dental, ayurveda, or homeopathy.

Regards

Hello,

Yes, you can apply.

If you apply for MBBS state quota counselling in your domicile state (Punjab), you are still eligible to apply for management quota seats in another state like Maharashtra .

Management quota seats are usually open to all Indian students, no matter which state they belong to. Just make sure you meet the eligibility criteria set by that particular state or private college.

Hope it helps !

Hello Aspirant,

With 176 marks in NEET, it will be very difficult to get admission in MBBS in deemed universities, as their cutoffs for MBBS are usually much higher, often above 300–400 marks even in management quota. In the case of NRI or higher fee-paying seats, sometimes colleges may accept lower scores, but 176 marks is quite low even for such seats. Additionally, deemed universities generally have high tuition fees, sometimes ranging from 15 to 25 lakh per year. If you are determined to pursue MBBS, you can either prepare for NEET again next year or explore other medical-related courses like BDS, BAMS, BHMS, BPT, or paramedical courses where cutoffs are relatively lower. Also, private colleges through state counselling might offer seats at lower ranks, but that too would require checking round-wise vacancies.

I hope this clears your doubt. Best wishes for your future.
