Hello student,

With 424 marks and an All India Rank of around 3 lakhs in NEET 2024, your chances of securing an MBBS seat in a government medical college through the All India Quota (AIQ) are relatively low, especially in more competitive states or for the general category . However, you may still have some options depending on your state quota and reservation category .

Here’s a more detailed breakdown of your options:

1. State Quota:

• Government colleges : Some states with less competition might offer MBBS seats at this score through their state quota counseling. For example, in rural areas or north-eastern states , you might have a higher chance.
  
  
• Reserved categories : If you belong to a reserved category like OBC, SC, or ST , your chances of getting a seat in a government college improve due to lower cutoffs.
  
  2. Private Medical Colleges:
  
  
• You have a good chance of securing an MBBS seat in private medical colleges , especially in states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, or Maharashtra , which have a larger number of private institutions. These colleges generally have lower cutoffs for management quota seats.
  
  3. Deemed Universities:
  
  
• Deemed universities may also offer seats, although their fees tend to be significantly higher than government and private colleges. However, with a score of 424, you may be eligible for lower-ranked deemed universities.
  
  4. Other Courses:
  
  
• If MBBS doesn’t work out, you could consider BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) , BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) , or BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery) . These courses often have lower cutoffs, and you may have a better chance of admission in government or private colleges.
  
  What You Should Do:
  
  
• Participate in state counseling for MBBS seats through your domicile state, as you may have a better chance than in AIQ.
  
  
• Consider private medical colleges if you are open to higher fees.
  
  
• Explore alternative courses like BDS or BAMS if you are willing to pursue them.

It’s important to follow the counseling process closely and explore all available options to maximize your chances of getting a seat.
