Hello there,

With an All India rank of 477,000 and an SC category rank of 48,000 in NEET, securing a government medical seat this year would be challenging, but not entirely impossible, depending on several factors:

1. Category Reservation : Since you belong to the SC category, you will have the advantage of a lower cutoff for government medical colleges under the state quota. The cutoff for SC category seats is usually lower than for general category seats, but the exact cutoff depends on factors such as the number of seats available, the competition, and the state you are applying to.

2. State Quota : In many states, the SC category has a relatively lower cutoff compared to the general category. For example, in states like Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Tamil Nadu, the SC category candidates have a chance of securing a government seat even with a higher rank compared to the AIQ cutoff.
   
   

3. All India Quota (AIQ) and State Quota : Under the All India Quota (AIQ), the competition is tougher, and the cutoff is generally higher, so with your current rank, it is unlikely you would secure a government medical seat. However, under the state quota, the chances improve as each state has its own cutoff trends, and some states may have relatively lower cutoffs.
   
   

4. Previous Year Trends : Based on previous years' trends, for an SC category candidate, the cutoff for government medical colleges could range anywhere from 40,000 to 100,000 rank for some states under the state quota. But this can vary depending on the college, the state, and the number of available seats.
   
   

5. Counseling and Seat Availability : The NEET counseling process is done through centralized counseling (AIQ) and state counseling. Depending on the number of available seats in the government colleges and the number of candidates from the SC category, you might have a chance in certain states.

In conclusion, while your chances of getting a government medical seat are slim under the AIQ, there may still be a possibility under the state quota, depending on the state’s counseling and the availability of seats. It is best to keep track of the cutoff trends in various states and be prepared for state counseling rounds.
