Hello there,

With a score of 188 in NEET and being in the general category, your options for private medical colleges are limited, as most colleges have higher cutoffs for MBBS. However, you might have a chance in certain private colleges for courses like BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) or BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) .

Possible Options:

1. BDS Colleges : Some private dental colleges may accept lower NEET scores. Consider colleges like Bangalore Institute of Dental Sciences, KLE Institute of Dental Sciences, and Dr. D.Y. Patil Dental College.
   
   

   Recommended

2. BAMS Colleges : Certain Ayurvedic colleges may also have lower cutoffs. Look into Bharati Vidyapeeth Ayurved College and Gujarat Ayurved University.
   
   

3. Allied Health Sciences : Explore options in nursing, physiotherapy, or paramedical courses, as these typically have lower entry requirements.
   
   

Check the latest cutoffs for your preferred colleges and participate in the counselling process to explore available options. Acting quickly is essential, as admissions often close soon after NEET results are announced.
