Hello aspirant,
If you’re not interested in pursuing BDS, it’s advisable to remove BDS colleges from your choice list. If a BDS seat is allotted and you do not join, it may affect your counselling chances in subsequent rounds. With a NEET score of 462 and BCM rank of 425, you stand a fair chance to get MBBS seats in self-financed medical colleges under the BCM quota, especially in mop-up rounds. Review and revise your preferences before locking choices to avoid unwanted allotments.
With a NEET score of 462, State Rank 7842, and BCM Rank 425, you have slim chances for MBBS in Tamil Nadu government colleges in mop-up or stray rounds, especially in newer or less preferred colleges. However, BDS seats are more likely, but since you're not interested, you can consider private MBBS colleges as a backup option.
Hello Aspirant,
With a NEET score of 462, State Rank 7842, and BCM Rank 425, securing an MBBS seat in a Tamil Nadu Government college will be extremely challenging . Last year's BCM cutoffs for MBBS were significantly higher (often above 550-600 marks, with lower ranks).
Since you're not interested in BDS, ensure you remove all BDS colleges from your choice list immediately if counselling allows editing. If not, and you are allotted a BDS seat, simply do not accept it . This will allow you to participate in subsequent MBBS rounds or other counselling
