Hello Anitha,

With 500 marks in NEET, your chances of getting a seat in a government medical college depend on a few factors, including your category and the specific cut-offs for the state you are applying to. Here’s a breakdown:

1. State Quota Considerations:

• Since you studied 10th in Andhra Pradesh and intermediate in Telangana, you will likely be considered a local candidate in Telangana for state quota counseling. Each state has its own cut-off trends, and government colleges may have different cut-offs based on the local candidate pool.
  
  2. Cut-off Trends:
  
  
• In Telangana, the cut-off for government medical colleges has varied in recent years. For SC/ST candidates, the cut-offs tend to be lower. With 500 marks , you may have a chance, but it’s on the lower side, especially for popular colleges.
  
  3. Alternative Courses:
  
  
• If getting into an MBBS program seems challenging with 500 marks , consider other medical courses like BDS (Dentistry) , BAMS (Ayurveda) , or BHMS (Homeopathy) , as these may have lower cut-offs.
  
  4. Participate in Counseling:
  
  
• Ensure that you participate in both the AIQ and state counseling processes. Different rounds may yield different results based on remaining vacancies.
  
  

While 500 marks is competitive, securing a seat in a government medical college may depend on your category and the specific college's cut-off trends. Stay informed about the counseling process and be open to exploring other medical courses if necessary.
