Dear student,

If you’ve scored 445 marks in NEET 2025 under the General category , getting into a government medical college will be quite difficult. Most government colleges have cut-offs well above 540 marks, especially in states like Delhi, Rajasthan, UP, Maharashtra, and Haryana , where the general category cut-offs usually range between 550 and 630 marks .

At 445, your best chances lie in private medical colleges . Many of them accept students with scores between 350 and 500 , particularly in states like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu . Some deemed universities and management quota seats may also be open to you, though the fees tend to be quite high.

If MBBS in a private college doesn’t work out, you can consider BDS or BAMS . The cut-offs for these courses are usually lower, and you might get a seat even in some government colleges, depending on the state.

Keep an eye on your state counselling portals , especially during mop-up and stray vacancy rounds —cut-offs often drop in those final stages. Be flexible with your options and ready with backups.
