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. For rehabilitation and sports medicine careers, BPT (Physiotherapy) offers strong scope, while BSc Nursing provides high demand both in India and abroad, particularly if you aim for an international career.

Here are some college suggestions for each course:

BAMS (Ayurveda) – Private Colleges under 10 lakh (Approx.):

1. National Institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur, Rajasthan (Semi-Govt., affordable fees)

2. Ayurvedic & Unani Tibbia College, Delhi

3. Tilak Ayurved Mahavidyalaya, Pune, Maharashtra

4. Rishikul Ayurvedic College, Haridwar, Uttarakhand

5. Dayanand Ayurvedic College, Jalandhar, Punjab

BPT (Physiotherapy)

1. Manipal College of Health Professions, Manipal

2. Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore

3. Seth G.S. Medical College, Mumbai

4. Rajiv Gandhi College of Physiotherapy, Bengaluru

5. Amity Institute of Physiotherapy, Noida

BSc Nursing :

1. AIIMS, New Delhi (via separate entrance exam)

2. Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore

3. Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC), Pune

4. Rajkumari Amrit Kaur College of Nursing, Delhi

All the best!

Hello!

With a NEET rank of 8.6 lakh, chances for BDS in deemed colleges through counselling are very low because cut-offs are usually much higher. If the counsellor is saying “no chance” for round 2, they might be right based on seat trends.

Options for you:

• Check for management/NRI quota in private colleges (higher fees).
• Register for other states’ counselling in the next session.
• Consider alternative courses like BSc Nursing, BPT, or BSc Life Sciences.

It’s better to plan a backup now instead of waiting only for round 2.

Thank you,

With an AIR of 861668 in NEET 2025, the chances of getting a seat in BDS deemed colleges like Loni Pravara, Sangli BVU, Sharad Pawar Wardha, or Kim’s Karad in the first round are extremely low, which is why you didn’t receive any allotment.

Regarding Round 2, your counsellor is correct,with such a high rank, it is very unlikely that you will get a seat in these colleges, even if seats remain vacant. Also, since you did not register for other states, you are limited to the options you selected. you can use this  links for predicting your college with your rank;

In the lower end of the spectrum for government college seats in the OBC (2AG) category, the highest closing rank was recorded at 59,231 in Round 1. Therefore, securing an MBBS seat in a government college with your current ranks is highly unlikely.

Your budget of 15 lakhs for the entire course might be a significant constraint. A private MBBS in India can cost between 10-30 lakhs annually.Some private colleges in certain states might have annual fees closer to your budget, such as Hind Institute of Medical Sciences (Uttar Pradesh) at approximately INR 15 lakhs per year.

If MBBS is not feasible, consider other rewarding medical careers like BDS, BAMS, BHMS, BPT, nursing, or paramedical courses, which have lower NEET score requirements.
