Sir, my child got 359 marks in neet 2025. We belong to General Category (OBC). Will I get government seat in karnataka.
Hello sir,
With a score of 359 in NEET 2025 and belonging to the General (OBC) category, it will be quite difficult to secure an MBBS government seat in Karnataka. Based on recent trends, the cutoff marks for government medical colleges in Karnataka under the OBC category usually range between 500 to 530 marks, depending on the college and the year’s competition.
Government medical colleges like Mysore Medical College, KIMS Hubli, and Bangalore Medical College generally close admissions at much higher scores, especially under the state quota. A score of 359 falls significantly below the usual OBC cutoff in these colleges.
However, options are still available. You can consider private medical colleges in Karnataka, where the cutoffs are lower than in government institutions. Some private colleges may consider scores in the range of 300–400, especially under OBC or management quota seats, though the fees will be higher.
Your child may also explore paramedical and allied health science courses like B.Sc Nursing, BPT, BMLT, Radiology, etc., which have good career prospects and are available at both government and private institutions.
I wish your child all the best!
