Hi you haven't mentioned your category, nevertheless for general category in order to qualify you need to score a minimum of 50th percentile which is 701-134,for SC/ST/OBC it's 40th percentile i.e. 133-107,for unreserved PH it's 45th percentile i.e 133-120 and for SC/ST/OBC PH it's. 40th percentile i.e 119-107 . Qualifying exam alone doesn't guarantee you a seat in medical college . It is based on the merit list prepared which varies every year depending on several factors like number of students appearing in exam, difficulty level of exam, students scoring more than you and your category. To increase your chances of getting a seat in government medical college you need to score 620+ marks .

You just have to qualify the NEET 2020 exam to be eligible for sitting in counselling (however whether you get call not depends on the cutoff of that particular state, category etc). Anyone who scores the minimum cutoff reqired to qualify the exam is eligible to fill the counselling form. This year it maybe around 120 (out of 720) that is, 50th percentile (not 50%, there is a difference between the two).
