MBBS

To be eligible for the MBBS programme at BLDE (Deemed to be University), candidates must meet the following criteria

- Educational Qualifications: Completion of 10+2 or equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English as main subjects. General category candidates must secure a minimum aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology. For SC/ST and other reserved categories, a minimum of 40% is required.

- Entrance Examination: A valid score in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG) is mandatory for admission.

- Age Limit: Candidates must be at least 17 years old as of December 31 of the admission year

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.

Your prospects for getting an MBBS seat in government colleges in West Bengal under the state quota would not be very bright with a score of 505 in the general (unreserved) category for NEET 2024. The cutoff scores for most of the government medical colleges in West Bengal were more than 505 in previous years. For instance:

Government Colleges: Medical College Kolkata, Nilratan Sircar Medical College,  RG Kar Medical College generally had their cut-offs around 590-600 for state quota general category seats.

Semi-Government/Private Colleges: Semi-government or private colleges like KPC Medical College or ICARE Institute of Medical Sciences could be having their cut-offs more around your score,  though it may still demand a few points more than 505 for the general category students.

With a NEET score of 431 under the open category, admission to MBBS colleges through government quotas may be challenging but not impossible, depending on your state of domicile and the cutoff trends for 2024. Cutoffs for government medical colleges under the 85% state quota and 15% All India Quota (AIQ) vary across states and categories. Generally:

State Quota Cutoffs: States like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Rajasthan have slightly lower cutoffs for state quota seats compared to others like Delhi and Maharashtra. A score of 431 may be sufficient for private medical colleges under government quotas or seats in less competitive states.

AIQ Cutoffs: For the 15% All India Quota, cutoffs for government colleges are usually above 550 for open category candidates

Scoring 292 in NEET 2024, securing a government or semi-government MBBS seat will be challenging, as the cutoff marks for top colleges are usually high. Some semi-government colleges might have low cutoff marks, which can get moderate scorers in. For instance, colleges like *Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education, Chennai, * and *PSG Institute of Medical Science, Coimbatore, * admit students with scores ranging from 250–500. This is purely at the discretion of the college based on the category and availability of particular seats.

You can also look at private medical colleges, where the cutoff might be softer compared to government colleges. Government colleges may have a higher cutoff, while semi-government and private colleges would more likely provide options with your score. Another thing is that you need to research cutoff trends as well as seat availability specific to counseling.

Admission into the MBBS program offered by the Army College of Medical Sciences (ACMS) of Delhi in 2024 are accepted based on the NEET UG exam. The general trends seen in the cutoffs during the previous years indicate that, for instance, candidates in the following categories were allowed entry based on these approximate marks and ranks:

General: NOAFAI category closing rank around 28,416 with a score of 601.
Scores under OBC, SC, or ST categories: between 428 and 500, contingent upon the specific category and domicile eligibility?
