Hello aspirant!

With a NEET 2025 score of 191 marks and a percentile around 61, it will be quite difficult to get admission in MBBS or BDS at a government medical college. For government seats, the cutoffs are usually much higher. General category students typically need above 600 marks, and even candidates from reserved categories like OBC, SC, or ST usually need at least 450–500+ marks, depending on the state and the category-wise competition.

For private medical colleges, admission is still quite competitive. While some low-ranked private colleges may accept NEET-qualified students with lower scores, the annual fees are generally very high — sometimes ranging from 10 to 20 lakh per year. Most students getting MBBS seats even in private colleges tend to have scores above 350–400. So with 191 marks, your options for MBBS would be very limited unless you're considering management or NRI quota seats and are comfortable with the cost.

But there are still good career options available to you in the medical and health sciences field. You can consider alternate courses like B.Sc Nursing, BPT (Physiotherapy), BMLT (Medical Lab Technology), B.Sc in Radiology, Optometry, Occupational Therapy, or BASLP (Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology).

So don’t lose hope. If you’re determined to pursue MBBS, you can also take a drop year and try again with better preparation.

I wish you all the best!
