With a NEET rank of approximately 4 lakh, getting an MBBS seat in government colleges in Uttarakhand can be tough because of the huge competition. You may have an opportunity in private medical colleges with comparatively lower fees. Some of the private colleges in Uttarakhand providing MBBS with lower fees than the top-class institutions are:
Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, Dehradun
Shree Guru Ram Rai Institute of Medical and Health Sciences, Dehradun
The charges in such colleges are anywhere from INR 10-15 Lacs a year in the management quota, and these colleges may grant some concession to students from lower NEET ranks.

With a NEET UG ranking of 268, it's not possible to get an MBBS seat in government medical colleges because the usual cutoffs would be very high. You would have a fair chance in private medical colleges or deemed universities because the cutoffs there are normally lower, and particularly under management or NRI quota, even though the seats there are significantly more expensive. The chance also varies with the category (General, SC/ST, OBC) and college. It's better to verify the cutoff information of private colleges and seek management quota seats in order to increase admission possibilities.

With a NEET score of 307 in 2024, your daughter might be struggling to find a seat in MBBS or BDS courses in government colleges because of heavy competition and cutoffs. But she has a hope in private medical or dental colleges, though there will be a high fee structure. For BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery), the cutoff marks are lower than for MBBS and BDS, so she might have a greater possibility of admission in BAMS. It's better to see the particular cutoffs for various institutions and look into private options too.

In Gujarat, to become eligible for admissions to MBBS under the state quota, one needs to fulfill certain domicile conditions. Since you are a student studying Class 12 in Gujarat and were born in Gujarat, you are fulfilling the domicile criteria for Gujarat MBBS admissions. The Gujarat High Court has ruled that students who have studied from Class 8 to 12 in Gujarat can be considered for state quota seats, even without a domicile certificate.

With a NEET 2024 score of 629 marks and rank 49,400, your son stands a good opportunity to get MBBS admission, but it is highly dependent on the category and the colleges he applies to. For general category students, this score may be competitive in private medical colleges and a few state-run colleges. But getting a seat in a government medical college may be difficult as the cutoff mark is higher. It is suggested to go for counseling and to apply to different colleges so the chances of admission are higher.
