If you have scored 518 marks in NEET 2025 and you are from Karnataka, your chances of getting a seat in a government medical college depend on your category.

If you are from the general category, the cutoff is usually above 620 marks, so 518 is not enough for a government MBBS seat.

If you are from the OBC category, the cutoff is also higher than 580 marks in most cases, so it is unlikely.

If you are from SC or ST category, then there may be a chance to get a seat in a government college, especially in the later rounds of counselling.
