You got 500 marks in NEET exam under EWS category and you are from Jharkhand. With this score, your chances of getting a government MBBS seat in Jharkhand through state quota are very low.

In the past years, the cutoff for EWS category in government colleges of Jharkhand has been around 610 to 630 marks. RIMS Ranchi and other government colleges usually have high cutoffs. For example, RIMS Ranchi had a cutoff of about 636 marks for EWS category in 2024.

Your score of 500 is much lower than the expected cutoff, so it is unlikely that you will get admission in a government MBBS college in Jharkhand through state quota.

But you are still eligible to register for state counselling. You can try for private or deemed universities in Jharkhand or in nearby states where the cutoffs are lower. You should also register for All India Quota counselling through MCC, in case you want to explore other options across India.

So, while government seat chances are very low, you may still have options in private colleges.
