Hello aspirant,

This is a very common confusion among students who have appeared for NEET but don’t want to go for MBBS, BDS, or other doctor-related courses. Don’t worry  there are many other career options you can choose based on your interest, marks, and counselling rounds.

Even if you don’t want to become a doctor, you can still go for many NEET-based or biology related fields where NEET score may be used, or sometimes not even needed.

Some of the other Course options without NEET or with a Biology Background. If you’re not interested in clinical roles, you can explore:

1. BSc Nursing – A good option, available through a separate entrance or counselling. But some of the central colleges like AIIMS, AFMC, etc.You have to give the NEET, but if you want to take admission in a private or state college, you have to give their entrance exam.

2. BSc in Biotechnology / Microbiology / Biochemistry – Research and lab-based roles.

3. BSc Agriculture / Forestry / Horticulture – A Growing field with government and private jobs.

4. B.Pharm (Bachelor of Pharmacy) – Medicines, drug stores, and the pharma industry.

Hello Mr. Santhosh,

With an All India Rank (AIR) of 70,775 and NEET marks of 485, your daughter has a decent chance of getting an MBBS seat through the State Quota in Maharashtra. Here are the possibilities:

1. State Quota (85%) – Maharashtra: As a domicile candidate from Maharashtra, she is eligible to apply through the state quota where cutoffs are usually lower than AIQ. Last year MBBS seats in government medical colleges closed in the range of 510–520 marks, however, some semi-government college or private college under state quota allotment, accepted candidates with marks in the range of 480–490.
2. Private Medical Colleges / Deemed Universities: She has a likelihood in private colleges in Maharashtra or other states under management quota, but the fees will be higher.
3. AIQ (15%): To get a seat under AIQ will be difficult with this rank probably the cutoff for AIQ will also be on a higher side.
4. Consider BDS / BAMS / BHMS: If MBBS was your goal and cutoff is not achieved, you can also look into allied health sciences like BDS (Dental) or BAMS/BHMS where this score is usually sufficient.

Scoring 438 marks with AIR 141764 in neet 2025 reduces your chances of getting government Veterinary College due to high cutoff. However, you still have a chance of getting private veterinary colleges.

What You should do?

• At the beginning of BVSc counselling, apply through BOPEE J&K.
• Have your NEET scorecard, proof of address, 12th grade transcript, etc. on hand.
• Engage in all rounds of counselling, including mop - up
• If both SKUAST - jammu and SKUAST - Kashmir are available, fill them out.

Hello,

You have a moderate chance of being admitted to a BAMS program through state counselling if you have 438 NEET 2025 scores and are from jammu & Kashmir's general category. This is especially true for private or semi government colleges that are part of the AYUSH quota as government colleges provides seats at higher cutoffs.

What You should do?

• Visit the official BOPEE website to register for J & K AYUSH NEET counselling.
• Fill out as many options as possible, giving government and private colleges priority.
• Take part in every round, even mop - up, where cutoffs frequently occur.

According to previous year trends, people with ranks upto 500 are allotted a college in the first round.

With a common rank of 443 you fall well within this range. So you'll probably be allotted a seat in the forst round of counseling.

Hello,

It is quite improbable that a student with a NEET score of 90 will be admitted to bachelor of homeopathic medicine and surgery program, particularly at Government universities. Although it varies, the Neet score required for BHMS is typically significantly higher than 90. For candidates in the general category, the minimum percentile is usually about the 50th percentile, or 138 marks.

Hello Aspirant,

A NEET score of 383, OBC category, and domicile in West Bengal will allow you to secure admission into a state quota private medical college in West Bengal, but it will be very competitive.

• Private Medical Colleges (state quota): for OBC candidates in West Bengal the state quota seat cut off marks in the private medical colleges has historically been around 370-420 marks, it really depends on the specific college and year.
• 383 marks is on the lower-mid end, you may not get top private colleges, however, there are lower rank private medical colleges that may give you admission, particularly in 2nd/final mop up rounds.
