Seat allotment is made only among colleges that you have listed in your preference. If you do not include a good college in your list, you simply cannot get it, no matter how good your NEET rank is. Students should research every college carefully, add as many good options as possible, and always prioritise government colleges at the top of their list for maximum value and minimum fees.
