Hello,

Thanks for reaching out!

This is an interesting situation and only a few exceptional students experience it. If you secure a top rank in both IIT-JEE and NEET, you will have two prestigious career paths before you – engineering and medical. Getting an IIT seat means you can become an engineer in streams like Computer Science, Electronics, or Mechanical, with opportunities in research, entrepreneurship, and high-paying jobs worldwide. On the other hand, a NEET top rank gives you admission into MBBS at AIIMS, JIPMER, or other top medical colleges, putting you on track to become a doctor, surgeon, or medical researcher. The decision depends on your passion and long-term interest. If you love technology, problem-solving, and innovation, IIT may be right. If you’re passionate about healthcare, human biology, and patient care, then NEET’s medical route is better. Both offer excellent respect, stability, and earnings.

I wish you clarity to choose wisely.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you can give improvement exams after passing 12th class. It doesn't actually matter if you have taken NEET too and appeared in counseling. Many students choose improvement to increase their 12th standard marks because they think it will help them meet eligibility criteria (for example 50% marks in PCB for General, 40% for SC/ST/OBC, 45% for PwD) . However, please note:

• Improvement is usually done by the same board (CBSE/State Board) in the next academic session.
• NEET will consider the latest qualifying marks of the candidate (improvement included).
• You can again apply for NEET, based on improvement marks.

So Yes, just because you have gone through counselling, does not stop you being able to come out to give improvement.

Hello,
you should use a disability certificate issued by a competent authority, such as a Disability Certificate from a Government Hospital or the Chief Medical Officer, which clearly mentions your type and percentage of disability. For NEET, this certificate is required to avail extra time, scribe assistance, or other concessions. Make sure the certificate is recent, valid, and specifically mentions that you are eligible for such exam accommodations, as the NEET authorities will verify it during the application process.

Hello dear!

First of all, congratulations on scoring 403 in NEET. Getting admission in government BAMS (Ayurveda) colleges in Rajasthan with this score will depend on your category and the cutoff for that particular year. Usually, for General category students, the cutoff for government Ayurveda colleges in Rajasthan goes a bit higher, but for OBC, SC, or ST categories, 403 can give you a fair chance. In the first round, sometimes it may be difficult if seats are limited, but don’t lose hope. Even if you don’t get a seat in round one, there are good chances in round two or mop-up rounds as many seats get reshuffled. I suggest you fill maximum choices of government Ayurveda colleges during counseling. Rajasthan has good BAMS colleges in Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, and other districts.

Thank you for asking, wishing you the very best for your admission!

Hello,

On 13th August 2025, when the Round 1 result of NEET UG Gujarat counselling was declared, it was the final Round 1 seat allotment result, not just provisional. Here’s the difference: a provisional result is usually published just before final allotment, mainly to allow candidates to check for errors and raise objections. However, the Gujarat Admission Committee for Professional Medical Educational Courses (ACPMEC) usually releases a final Round 1 result directly after considering all options filled by candidates. Once this is released, candidates are required to download their allotment letter and report to the designated college to confirm admission. But the result published on 13th August is indeed final for Round 1 and binding for that stage. Only subsequent rounds bring changes if you participate again.

Thank you for asking, and I hope this clears your doubt.

Hello Aspirant,

If you uploaded expired income certificate of yours in round 1,  you have to get a renewed/in-date certificate again for Round 2. While you could not register again in Round 2 from Tamil Nadu's counselling portal, they usually allow you to update your information (choice preference) and to edit/correct your information. It is highly recommended to check counselling and/or official portlet from Round 2 edit/choice-filling section - there you should have the option to change your expired/deleted certificate with a current one. If the system does not allow it, you should contact the counselling authorities and ask for clarification right away.

For the OBC category, the cut-off for getting an MBBS seat in a government medical college changes every year because it depends on factors like the exam’s difficulty, the performance of candidates, and the availability of seats.

Looking at past trends, for the All India Quota, scoring around 580–600+ marks is usually considered safe for OBC candidates to get a government MBBS seat.

In some states with more seats and lower competition, you may get a seat even with 550+ marks under the State Quota.

Tip: Always aim a bit higher, like 600+ marks, to reduce the risk and increase your chances of getting your preferred college.

Hi Lakshay,

With your NEET score of 276 and AIR of around 5.14 lakh, getting a government BAMS seat in top-tier institutions might be difficult. However, you can still secure admission in reputed private colleges within your budget of 10 lakh for the full course.

If you are interested in holistic and traditional medicine, BAMS is an excellent option, especially with the increasing global interest in Ayurveda.
