With a NEET 2024 score of 513 in the RC8 category (Roman Catholic Christian), your chances of getting a seat in St. John’s Medical College, Bangalore are a bit low but still possible.

In 2024, the RC8 category cutoff in round 1 was around 606 marks. But in round 2, the cutoff dropped to about 509 marks. Since your score is 513, it is just above the second-round cutoff, so you may have a chance in round 2 or the mop-up (stray) round if seats are left.

The general category cutoff for this college is much higher—above 680 marks. So admission through general merit is not possible. But if you are applying under the RC8 quota, then you should definitely attend all rounds of counselling and keep checking for updates. RC8 seats are very few, so competition is still high.

Your score is close to the previous year’s cutoff for your category, so you might get admission, but it is not guaranteed.

You should also consider other Christian minority or private medical colleges in Karnataka where the cutoff is a little lower, just in case you don’t get St. John’s.
