Hello dear,

Cut off is the minimum marks required to qualify for the exam but if you want to get into a decent medical college then there will be more competition and so you have to score more than just cut off ( 50 % for General and 40 % for SC / ST / OBC categories ).

So try to get a score of around 570 or around and that will be a competitive score.

Hello dear,

Cut off marks are the minimum marks that are needed to be at least qualified but to get admission in a decent medical college one has to score at least more that 480 or so depending on the state you belong but a score around 590 is absolutely safe and can get you nearly a very good medical college.

Good luck for exams
Thanks

Hello Devprasana,
As per your query about marks cutoff, you must be knowing that there is All India Quota 15 % and State government quota 85%...

Cut off by All India quota is always higher than state quota..Further in both the quota the SEAT is further divided as per category like Open, SC , OBC , ST, etc..It will vary for each group. The Cutoff also vary in Government, Private and Deemed University, Also difffer college to college even in government /private/deeemed. The marks vary each year based on the difficulty level of the paper

BUT GOING BY PREVIOUS YEAR TREND A MBBS SEAT is obtained around 480 - 600 marks range..


Best of luck

Around 570 marks would fetch you govt college by AIQ.
With state quota cut off falls. , but you haven't told you domicile.
Set higher target because cut off differ according to difficulty level.
Do previous year , that would help you revise .
Study hard
All the very best
Hope it helps
