Hello,

You have to get a percentile below 97 so that you get a satisfying rank to get an admission into medical colleges. Qualifying the cutoff doesn't makes candidates to get an admission. Reservation is kept is just to help candidates to get good colleges by decreasing the general rank for which the candidates are eligible for more colleges.

Outof 720 , a score below 600 is a safe zone which make sure that a candidate will get an admission. reservation won't help much if the general category mark and rank will be very high.

Hi mam,
Thank you so much for your response.
Mam but as they mentioned. (State counselling), And the Pwd matters then why is it mentioned that 40percetile will be the cut off (Which is approx below 500 . )
And I'm from Telangana OBC.
Doesn't OBC and Pwd won't help in lowering the percentile than 97 ?

Yeah . That is true but the number of seats which is kept is very low and even you get 97 percentile , if there are like 80k students ahead you with percentile 97 or above then you won't get an admission as the seats available is 76982 which includes private and semi government also. But not all afford for private colleges. Government seats are limited. Try to get a score above 600. After that whatever be the percentile ,score or reservation you will get an admission for sure at government colleges. There are like 10 lakhs of students who appear every year and all try their best to get a good percentile above 90. You can see the competition so the only way is focus on score.

Practice in the given time and solve previous year papers too. And appear mock tests to know your performance. Percentile changes as per score and the absolute percentile is not known which is eligible to get an an admission that's why 97 is safest percentile and 600 marks outof 720 is safe.

Sonali Sahu Thank you once again for the explanation mam . Helped alot !
So basically Pwd is of no use then ? in aiding to to lower the percentage for seat allotment either in government or private.
For MBBS and BDS both
Mam what about the (5 percent) special reservation for Pwd persons ?
or is there some other criteria for private?
And if we enquire with NTA regarding Pwd they simply are saying it depends on counselling only.
