Reservation Advantage: Since reserved categories typically have lower cutoff ranks than regular categories, being in the SC category greatly boosts your prospects.

Demand for Specialisations: Compared to ENT, anaesthesia is typically less competitive, therefore your prospects of getting a seat in anaesthesia may be higher.

Past Year's Cutoffs: To have a better understanding of your possibilities, it's best to look at the past year's cutoff ranks for SC category seats in ENT and anaesthesia. These ranks change every year.

Counselling Rounds: Take part in every counselling round; there may be openings in subsequent rounds.

In a government college, you may be able to get a seat in anaesthesia or maybe ENT depending on your rank and category.

Hello,

With an AIQ NEET PG rank of 183,000 belonging to the SC category, the chances stand low for him to get a seat in ENT or Anesthesia in a government college under the All India Quota, quite especially for higher-demand branches like ENT. However, anesthetics are less competitive as compared to other clinical branches; hence, you would have better scope in this field in terms of seat availability and cut-offs in the SC category. Also, do not overlook official counseling as cut-offs vary every year. You can also consider state quota seats or private colleges if necessary.
