Hello,

Securing a government seat in the general category is unlikely, but not unattainable, given an All India Rank of 1188 in Neet MDS 2025. There are still opportunities through the State Quota or by looking into private or deemed universities, even though spaces at government colleges are normally given to applicants with lower ranks (usually below 1000).
