Hello,

With a NEET PG rank of around 80,000, your options for branches in medical colleges might be limited, especially for highly competitive specialties like Radiology, Dermatology, and Pediatrics. However, you may still have chances in other branches, particularly in private medical colleges, DNB programs, and in later rounds of counseling. Here are some branches that might be available to you:

  1. Non-clinical branches :

    • Anatomy
    • Biochemistry
    • Physiology
    • Forensic Medicine
    • Microbiology
    • Pathology
    • Pharmacology
    • Community Medicine
  2. Less competitive clinical branches :

    • General Medicine (in some private colleges)
    • General Surgery (in some private colleges)
    • Anaesthesiology
    • Psychiatry
    • Family Medicine
    • Emergency Medicine
    • Transfusion Medicine
  3. DNB Programs :

    • DNB seats may be available in hospitals that are not in major metropolitan areas or in specialties with lower demand.
  4. Other options :

    • You might also consider postgraduate diplomas in various fields, which can sometimes be easier to secure with a rank like yours.

Your chances improve significantly if you are open to enrolling in private colleges, considering lesser-known institutions, or exploring DNB programs. You should actively participate in all rounds of counseling, including the mop-up and stray vacancy rounds, to maximize your chances.

Hope it helps !
