MBBS

As with most courses at the Sikkim Manipal Institute of Medical Sciences, SMIMS MBBS general cutoff varies each year because it depends on multiple criteria: applicants, difficulty in an examination, and seats available for filling in an academic year. Traditionally, one needs to attain high ranks in the NEET UG exam to cut into the SMIMS cutoffs.

No, a score of 157 marks on the NEET exam is unlikely to be enough to get an MBBS seat:

BDS Admission

• Government Colleges: Typically require at least 450 marks.
• Private Colleges: A score in the 50th percentile (unreserved category) may be sufficient.

MBBS Admission

• A score of 393 is on the lower side, but some private medical colleges or institutions with higher fee structures might accept candidates with this score.
