Hello Mr. Santhosh,

With an All India Rank (AIR) of 70,775 and NEET marks of 485, your daughter has a decent chance of getting an MBBS seat through the State Quota in Maharashtra. Here are the possibilities:

1. State Quota (85%) – Maharashtra: As a domicile candidate from Maharashtra, she is eligible to apply through the state quota where cutoffs are usually lower than AIQ. Last year MBBS seats in government medical colleges closed in the range of 510–520 marks, however, some semi-government college or private college under state quota allotment, accepted candidates with marks in the range of 480–490.
2. Private Medical Colleges / Deemed Universities: She has a likelihood in private colleges in Maharashtra or other states under management quota, but the fees will be higher.
3. AIQ (15%): To get a seat under AIQ will be difficult with this rank probably the cutoff for AIQ will also be on a higher side.
4. Consider BDS / BAMS / BHMS: If MBBS was your goal and cutoff is not achieved, you can also look into allied health sciences like BDS (Dental) or BAMS/BHMS where this score is usually sufficient.

NEET UG is the sole entrance exam for MBBS admission in India. Seats are distributed under:

• 15% All India Quota (AIQ) – managed by MCC (Medical Counselling Committee)

• 85% State Quota – managed by State Counselling Authorities

• Private/Deemed Universities – via MCC or State

• Central Institutions – like AIIMS, JIPMER (via MCC)

Your rank 70,775 (≈485 marks) is far beyond these cutoffs. So, AIQ Government MBBS admission is not possible . https://medicine.careers360.com/articles/neet-cut-off

In Maharashtra, the State Common Entrance Test Cell handles counselling for 85% state quota seats.

Your State Rank (approx.): ~25,000 – Much higher than these cutoffs

So, getting MBBS in a government college in Maharashtra is also highly unlikely .
