Hello,

Holding an All India Rank of 156,408 in NEET 2025 and being from the ST category makes it highly improbable to obtain an MBBS seat in a government medical college. Generally, the ST category cutoffs for NEET lie between 400 and 480 marks, translating to ranks significantly above yours in the counseling procedure.

These thresholds rely on the state quota trends from previous years, where government MBBS admissions for ST candidates typically align with those mark ranges. Even though the number of eligible candidates has slightly dropped this year—possibly reducing cutoffs—your ranking still falls outside the competitive range for the majority of state or AIQ seats.

You are still qualified to take part in both AIQ and state counselling, allowing you to consider various available options. Although securing a government MBBS seat might not be possible this year, it would be wise to explore different medical options like BAMS, BHMS, BPT, Pharm.D, or B.Sc. Nursing, where thresholds are reduced and chances are more reachable.

Hope this helps. All the best!
