Hello there,

With a NEET PG 2024 rank of 43,000, getting an MD Pathology seat in a government medical college might be challenging but is not entirely out of the question. Here's a breakdown:

Government Colleges:

  1. Cutoff Trends:

    MD Pathology: Government colleges generally have higher cutoff ranks for MD Pathology. In recent years, the cutoffs for MD Pathology in government colleges have been quite competitive, often falling below 30,000 in many cases.

  2. Possibilities:

    a) Lower-Cutoff Government Colleges: You may have a chance in government colleges with lower cutoff ranks or in less competitive regions.

    b) Regional Variation: Government colleges in tier-2 and tier-3 cities or less popular states might have higher cutoff ranks, offering some possibilities.

  3. DNB (Diplomate of National Board) Pathology:

    DNB Options: DNB courses might be a viable alternative if you are open to non-MD paths. DNB seats can sometimes be available with higher ranks compared to MD courses.

Steps to Improve Chances:

  1. Participate in Counseling: Be proactive in the counseling process, exploring all available options and institutions.

  2. Check Specific Cutoffs: Research cutoff ranks for MD Pathology at various government colleges to identify potential opportunities.

  3. Consider Other Specializations: Explore other specializations or courses where the cutoffs might be more attainable.

    The Conclusion:

With a rank of 43,000, it might be difficult to secure an MD Pathology seat in most government colleges. However, exploring government colleges in less competitive areas or considering DNB Pathology could offer potential opportunities. Stay active in the counseling process and consider all available options to maximize your chances.
