Hello

I can understand your query, do not need to worry:

If you’re from Karnataka and belong to the SC category, aiming for a PG government seat in Dermatology, Pediatrics, or MS Surgery through NEET PG, you’ve got a good shot – but the competition is still real.

Based on recent years, a score above 500+ is considered safe for Dermatology, around 470–500+ for Pediatrics, and 430–470+ for MS Surgery.

Dermatology, being a top choice, demands a higher score even within SC reservation. Colleges like BMC Bangalore, KIMS Hubli, and MMC Mysore are some great options if you’re aiming for these branches.

To improve your chances, focus on strengthening your clinical concepts and high-yield topics. Regularly practice previous year questions, stay consistent with mock tests, and revise smartly using platforms like Career360.
