It's a Question of your Career!

While having a NEET score of 318, it is unlikely that a woman will be able to join a government medical college for MBBS. An alternative would be to try private medical schools or to look at other paramedical careers.

Ballari’s government college is the only one to provide a B.Pharm program and it accepts around 60 students each year. Getting into the academy depends on passing an entrance exam and being merit-based.

Uttar Pradesh:

Amity University, Lucknow (Private, direct admission)

SRMU, Lucknow – Affordable & 12th-based

Integral University, Lucknow

IIMT College of Law (Greater Noida) – Low fees, 12th-based

Delhi Metropolitan Education (DME) – IPU-affiliated, some direct seats

Bihar:

Chanakya National Law University (CNLU) – Needs CLAT (not direct)

Bihar Institute of Law – Accepts 12th marks for some courses

A score around 110–120 in the MHT CET is generally what you need to be eligible for B.Sc. Agriculture at Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth (MPKV), Rahuri. The score is placed at the 92–98 percentile based on the category and the number of seats open for sale. 70% of the decision is made using your 12th-grade marks and the other 30% comes from your MHT CET score.

With a JOSAA rank of 110,436, you likely won’t get IITs or top NITs, but you can try:

Lower-demand branches in NITs like Agartala, Patna, Jamshedpur, Raipur

GFTIs (Government Funded Technical Institutes) with higher closing rank

Some private universities that accept JOSAA ranks

Focus on branches like Civil, Biotechnology, or Metallurgy. Participate in all counselling rounds to maximize chances.

Your chance of getting into a government medical college under the All India Quota (AIQ) is minimal if you get 390 marks on NEET 2025 as an SC. However, the cut-off scores change from one state to another, in State Quota Counselling.

Medical colleges affiliated with the government are:

The SC cut-off in states such as Tamil Nadu is close to 420-440 marks. It may be that 390 out of 400 is not adequate.

In places like Maharashtra, students must get between 460 and 480 marks on their test to be eligible for the SC category which is extremely difficult.

Private Medical Colleges

- Private colleges accept students with low marks and you could qualify with 390.

Private colleges in Tamil Nadu may accept lower scores for admission such as 380-410 for SC category.

- A score of 400-430 may be considered by private institutes in Maharashtra for SC category.

Possible Options:

Signing up for counselling for State Quota seats may lead to lower cut-off scores.

Check the various private medical colleges across the nation.

- Try out states that aren’t very competitive for education like Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram or Sikkim.

Cut-offs might be different due to seat availability, number of applicants and similar reasons. You should go to the NEET counselling website and get guidance from professionals for the best results.

A JEE rank of 212399 is not enough to be accepted by top IIITs. A few IIITs have managed to secure places in the top ranks, mainly for a few branches and categories. Let’s look at it step by step¹:

- General Category: Most top IIITs tend to set a minimum cutoff rank from around 100,000 to 150,000. Because your rank is above the grouping, reserving a spot for you becomes more difficult.

- Options to Consider: You may consider some IIITs that closed at higher rankings the previous academic years such as:

Malayalam is taught at IIIT Kottayam.

- B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering: Overall closing rank 7568 (SC category)

Closing rank 7611, B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering is for SC category.

- IIIT Ranchi is also as a good choice.

B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering Hons: Placed at closing rank 7842 (for SC candidates)

- Indian Institute of Information Technology, Bhagalpur.

B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering: Closing rank 8114 (SC category)

The following strategies might increase your opportunity to attend an IIIT:

If you are part of a reserved category (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS), the contest for your rank may be tougher.

In some cases, Electronics and Communication Engineering or Information Technology, may have better closing ranks than Computer Science.

- Go Through Many Rounds: Attend many rounds of JoSAA counseling for the best outcome.

Each year, cutoffs can be different and where seats are available matters significantly. Regularly visit the JoSAA website to see if your preferred course is still open and what rank is needed.

Hello Amit,

All of the options are great, but ultimately your choice should depend on what interests you, your potential long-term career goals, and what environment you feel comfortable working and thriving in.

1. If you are more inclined towards Electronics or Electrical engineering, then I would suggest that IIT Delhi (Electrical or ECE at IIT Dhanbad) is your best option, specifically due to placement metrics, research output and startup culture.
2. If you are open to Chemical Engineering, both IIT Delhi and IIT Madras are top institutes, with excellent faculty and infrastructure with a very strong Chemical department at IIT Madras.
3. IIT Delhi has an edge in terms of geographic location and exposure to industry.
4. IIT Madras has a strong academic ecosystem and encourages a very much collaborative culture.

If you are unsure as to what department/branch to pick prioritize institute and potential for flexibility. IIT Delhi has offered stronger chances for branch change and better opportunities overall.

Hello Aspirant,

A score of 401 in NEET 2025, home state Bihar, OBC category means you have a fair chance for BDS seats in government dental colleges via state quota. As seen over previous admission years, BDS cutoffs for OBC category candidates in Bihar under the 85% state quota have fluctuated around the area of 380 – 420, depending on competition and the college individual boards. That said, admission chances still vary each year depending on number of applicants, levels of difficulty NEET attains, seat matrix modifications, category rank. I would say you will participate in state counselling and you should apply for every government BDS options available to you and also consider mop-up rounds since once in a while there will be seats where cut-off will be lowered due to vacant spaces.
