I got 170 marks in neet ug 2025 with ST category now what can I do
Hello,
With 170 marks in NEET UG 2025 and ST category, it is very difficult to get a government medical seat (MBBS or BDS) as the cut-offs are usually higher, even for ST category.
Here are a few options you can consider:
-
Private medical colleges – You might get admission in some private colleges, but fees will be high.
-
BDS (Dental) – You can check for private BDS colleges, as cut-off is usually lower than MBBS.
-
Other courses – You can go for allied health courses like B.Sc Nursing, BPT (Physiotherapy), B.Sc in Paramedical courses, etc.
State counselling – Still attend state and AIQ counselling, sometimes seats remain vacant and cut-offs drop in mop-up or stray rounds.
Drop and try again – If you are determined to get MBBS in a govt. college, you can take a drop and prepare better for NEET 2026.
Hope it helps !
