Hey student,

With 509 marks in NEET and an All India rank of 195,788 in the SC category from Tamil Nadu, you have a reasonable chance of securing a seat in a government medical college.

Government College Prospects :

  1. SC Category Advantage : Your SC category status gives you a significant advantage in state quota counseling, where the cutoffs are generally lower for reserved categories.

  2. Tamil Nadu Government Colleges : In Tamil Nadu, government medical colleges tend to have varying cutoffs, but scores around 500-510 can often secure a seat in some colleges, especially for SC candidates.

    Counseling Process :

  • State Counseling : Focus on Tamil Nadu's state counseling, as this will be your best chance. The cutoffs for government medical colleges can vary each year, so stay updated with the official announcements.

With 509 marks and your SC category status, you have a good chance of getting into a government medical college in Tamil Nadu. Make sure to actively participate in the counseling process and explore all options available to you. Good luck!
