To get a seat in medical colleges through NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test), the required score can vary depending on several factors such as the category you belong to, the state you are applying in, and whether you are aiming for a government or private medical college. Here are some general guidelines:

1. Government Medical College

- General Category: Typically, a score of 600+ is considered safe for a seat in a government medical college, especially in more competitive states.

- OBC/EWS Categories: A score of 580+ might be competitive, but higher scores improve chances.

- SC/ST Categories: A score of 500+ may be sufficient, though it varies by state.

2. Private Medical Colleges

- General Category: A score of 450+ can be enough to secure a seat in private medical colleges, depending on the state and college.

- OBC/SC/ST Categories: A score of 400+ might suffice.

3. Deemed Universities

- Here, the required score is generally lower  than government colleges. A score of 400+ might be enough, though higher scores offer better chances.

Keep in mind these are general guidelines, and actual cut-offs can change each year based on the difficulty of the exam, number of applicants, and other factors.
