With 235 marks in NEET 2025 and belonging to the SC category it is unlikely that youwill get an MBBS seat in SRM Medical College. SRM is a wellknow  private medical college, and itscut-off for SC category candidates usually remains quite high In most previous years SC students needed around 450 to 500 or more marks to secure a seat there.

HELLO,

With a NEET score of 375 , your chances of admission to KIMS Bangalore and Kerela state merit (Sasraya) colleges under the General category are very limited as both options usually require significantly higher scores. Here is more detailed breakdown :-

1.Chances for KIMS Bangalore

• KIMS is one of the top private medical colleges in Karnataka and seats for non Karnataka general students are highly competitive
• Cutoff trends for private colleges in Karnataka , general category cutoffs are usually ranges between 400-550 marks or more
• With 375 you are below the general cutoff range for merit seat
• Your possible route at KIMS is through the management or NRI quota , which comes with very high annual fees ( 10 -15 lakh approx.)

2.Chances for Kerela State Merit colleges ( Sasraya Scheme )

• In recent years , General Category cutoffs for Kerela government colleges have been around 600 + marks. With 375 , admission is not possible
• Even for Self financing colleges under state merit , the cutoff for general students is usually 400 - 550 marks
• Since your score is below 375 , you are well below the range needed for both government and state merit private seats in Kerala.

3.What you can do further :-

• In both Kerala and Karnataka , private medical colleges offer these quotas. They are costly but may be your only MBBS option with 375.
• Consider deemed Universities :- These admits students through MCC counselling with separate cutoffs. Some deemed universities may accept scores in your range , but fees are high
• With your score you have good chances in BDS, BAMS , BHMS or other allied science programs

To predict your NEET 2025 rank and check your chances of getting a seat in a government medical college you can use online NEET rank predictor tools. These tools allow you to enter your expected NEET score category, and quota like  All India or state quota and  then give you a predicted All India Rank. Based on this predicted rank you  can also use college predictor tools to see which government medical colleges you may get admission into These predictions are based on previous years’ cutoffs and closing ranks for various categories in each state. For example a score of around 550 to 600 usually gives you a good chance of getting a government MBBS seat under the OBC or SC categories in many states. The cutoffs for government colleges can vary depending on your state category and the number of seats available These tools are free to use on educational platforms . While the predictions are not 100% guaranteed, they are very helpful in planning your counseling option and understanding where you  stand before the final result and merit list are declared

With a NEET 2025 score of 545 you have a strong chance of getting an MBBS seat, especially under the state quota. Most government medical colleges in various states have cutoffs ranging between 520 to 580 for unreserved and OBC categories so your score puts you in acompetitive range. If you belong to a reserved category, your chances become even better. In states like Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh, students with similar scores have secured seats in government or semi-government colleges in previous years. If you’re aiming  for the All India Quota it may be a bit tough, as cutoffs are slightly higher, but you still have a chance in the later rounds or in newly established government colleges. You also have good chances of admission in private medical colleges with lower fees under government quota seats. To be sure, use NEET rank predictors and college predictors to see where your score fits in based on your category and state. Participate actively in the counseling process, fill as many choices as possible and keep an eye on vacancy and mop-up rounds. Your score is definitely good enough for an MBBS seat with the right strategy.

Hi Snigdha,

If you scored 545 in NEET 2025, you can safely say that you reasonably expect a government MBBS seat using your state quota, especially if you are in a reserved category or are from a state with lower cutoff trends. Under All India Quota (AIQ), it would be tough to expect a government MBBS seat from top-tier colleges; however, semi-government or private medical colleges would be feasible in states such as Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra or Tamil Nadu depending on your category and domicile.

It is best to check out past year cutoffs and state-wise counselling and consider your category rank to have a better idea of what to expect.

Expected Rank: Around 70,000–75,000.

State Quota (85%): Good chance for government MBBS colleges in states like Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, UP, and Telangana.

All India Quota (15%): Possible in colleges with lower cut-offs like:

GMC Suryapet (Telangana)

CIMS Bilaspur (Chhattisgarh)

Midnapore Medical College (West Bengal)

GMC Chandrapur (Maharashtra)

Category Impact: OBC/SC/ST candidates have higher chances with 545 marks.

Hello Srusti,

If you are repeating 2nd PUC, focusing on both improving on board marks and KCET rank, don't be disappointed. In fact, repeating a year could add long term value and give you a better chance of getting into your preferred course or college. Remember to be consistent, prepare NCERT well, and practice the past papers regularly. Also remember to do board and KCET/NEET preparation at the same time. Remember, one disappointment cannot change your future, you will get another opportunity and you can comeback stronger.

All the best!

Hey Manu, congrats on appearing for NEET!

So, you scored 330 marks and you're under SC category, right?

In Telangana, there are some good medical colleges. With your score, you might have a chance to get into one of them.

Here are a few options:

- Gandhi Medical College, Secunderabad

- Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad

- Kakatiya Medical College, Warangal

But, it depends on the cutoff marks for SC category in Telangana. If your score is above the cutoff, you might get a seat.

I recommend checking the official website of Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) for cutoff marks and admission details.

Keep fingers crossed, Manu! You might just get into a good medical college!
