Dear aspirant,

With a NEET score of 443 in 2025 and having OBC, rural, and Kannada medium reservations, your chances of getting an MBBS seat in a government medical college in Karnataka through the state quota are quite slim. These days, even with reservations, the cutoffs for OBC under the 85% state quota have usually been above 500 marks due to high competition. Though your category benefits might help slightly, but 443 is still on the lower side for MBBS. However, you might get a seat in a private medical college with higher fees, or you can explore BDS, BAMS, or allied health courses. It's important to keep an eye on counselling rounds, especially the mop-up rounds, where cutoffs sometimes drop.

Thank you
