Hello Pooja,

With an AIR of 8,290 in NEET PG 2024 and being in the General category, you have a decent chance of securing an MD seat in government or DNB colleges in Kerala. Here are the possible options:

MD/MS in Government Colleges:

You might be able to get seats in less competitive specialties in government medical colleges, such as:

• MD Pathology
• MD Microbiology
• MD Community Medicine
• MD Pharmacology
• MD Anesthesia (depending on availability)
  
  DNB Courses:

You have a good chance of securing DNB seats in Kerala, including:

• DNB Anesthesia
• DNB Radiology
• DNB Pediatrics
• DNB General Medicine
• DNB Orthopedics
  
  Strategy:
  
  
• State Counseling: Participate in Kerala state counseling for MD/MS seats; you may have an advantage under state quotas.
• DNB Counseling: Keep DNB programs as a strong option, as they offer a broad range of specialties with good career prospects.
  
  Mop-Up Rounds:
  
  
• Stay Engaged: Participate in all rounds, including mop-up rounds, as seats can become available later.

These strategies should help you secure a desirable seat within Kerala.
