NEET

For the ST (Scheduled Tribe) category in the MBBS admissions through NEET, the required marks can vary depending on factors like the number of candidates, seat availability, and the difficulty level of the exam. Based on recent trends, the minimum qualifying score for the ST category is generally lower than the general category. For the 2023-2024 session, the NEET cutoff for ST candidates for MBBS was around 252 marks based on the closing rank of 544,463. This score is specific to LNCT Medical College, Indore, but similar trends apply to other colleges, with cutoffs being adjusted according to yearly changes. It's advisable to check the latest official NEET cutoff reports for your preferred institution, as they can change annually depending on various factors.

With a NEET score of 480, you may be able to secure a private medical seat with annual fees of around 4-5 lakh, but this will require careful research and may vary depending on your category and the state you are applying to; some less popular private colleges in certain states may offer fees in this range, but finding a reputable one at this price point may be difficult. Key items to consider:State-specific variations:Different states have varying cut-offs for private medical institutions, so look into colleges in states with potentially lower tuition. Less popular colleges:Look for private medical colleges that are less well-known, as they may offer lower costs.

With a NEET 2024 score of 480, your projected rank would be between 2.5 Lacs and 3.5 lakh, depending on the general difficulty of the exam and category-wise competition, but you are unlikely to get a seat in a top medical institution with this score. Key items to consider:Low scoring range:A score of 480 is regarded as poor and may not be sufficient for admission to most government medical colleges, even in the general category. The cut-offs varied for each category (General, OBC, SC, ST), resulting in considerable rank variations. A score of 480 may increase your chances of admission to private medical colleges, although tuition may be higher.

Considering your NEET 2024 rank expected to be around 13,000 means your getting a government MBBS seat will depend largely on the state to which you belong and the category under which application is made.Top-notch colleges will probably be out of reach through All India Quota (AIQ); for example, to get into AIIMS or JIPMER, it would be quite difficult with the rank in AIQ. However, there will be good chances for admission in well-reputed government colleges from states like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, or Karnataka, as cut-off ranks for general category students for some government MBBS colleges typically extend to around 12,000-15,000 in AIQ.
