Hello Shannu,

With a NEET 2024 score of 487 and SC category reservation , you have a reasonable chance of getting an MBBS seat in government or private medical colleges, especially in state counseling . Here’s what to expect based on recent trends:

1. Government Medical Colleges

  • In many states, an SC category candidate with a score around 480-500 can secure a government MBBS seat, depending on the state and availability of SC category seats.

  • Check your state’s counseling cutoffs as they can vary. In some states with lower competition, a score of 487 may be within the cutoff range for government colleges.

    2. Private Medical Colleges

  • You have a strong chance of getting an MBBS seat in private colleges through state counseling. Private colleges generally have lower cutoffs for SC category candidates compared to government colleges.

    3. Deemed Universities (All India Quota)

  • You may also have options in deemed universities through the All India Quota counseling (handled by the MCC). Many deemed universities accept scores around 450+ for SC candidates.

    Next Steps

  • Register for both State and All India Quota counseling (through MCC for deemed universities).

  • Keep an eye on the category-wise cutoffs released in each counseling round, as they fluctuate.

With your SC category and score, you have a good chance in private medical colleges and, depending on the state, may also be eligible for government college seats.
