The NEET UG eligibility guidelines are pretty clear on website. You need to make it to fact that you need to be less than 25 years to appear NEET. Next is, ensure that your class 12th marks comply with the requirements. Since clinical nutrition is in high demand, so I am sure your academics are great, but you must not forget of age restrictions.

You must clear NEET UG to take admission in the curriculum year in which you appeared for NEET. Rest depends on the eligibility for appearing in the NEET and your respective state government restrictions or extensions.

323 is much more than the qualifying marks, even for the general unreserved category. You are eligible to apply provided you meet other eligibility conditions too.

The cut-off and qualifying marks are clearly mentioned in the result sheet. Scoring more than that means you are eligible to apply for MBBS seat in a private or jointly run medical college, I. e. seats not under state government or All India quota.

Both has its own respect, scopes and requirement. There is huge shortage of Dentist in India added to fact that Alternative Therapies are now highly sought after in India. Both has its own financial expenditures, like eqiuptments used and so. Henceforth, do bit more homework of what suits you. If you ask me, though BAMS may have equally the same value but opt for BDS. The opportunities are quite diverse India and Abroad, especially when most of reports by Times of India and so speaks about shortage of Dentists in India.

Hi Dhanraj,
Looking at your NEET score, it is difficult to say whether you will get a medical college or not. But I would suggest you mention the college name that you are aiming at.
Best of luck!

Instead of government, I believe that you must try with privately or jointly run medical colleges. Though the privately run colleges have quite a high fee, starting from 4 lacs P.A (tuition fees) in a common scenario. There are a few non-government medical colleges in West Bengal. You may still try for them.

There is a very less chance of an MBBS seat as you must get a qualifying NEET score to get admission in MBBS in India. Still, you may try other courses in medical science.

The thing is it is not clear about the marks obtained and your rank. Still, supposing that you got 40 more than qualified marks, not the other way round of you getting 40 out of 720. The qualification marks itself are quite low for NEET. You will not get a government seat in General or OBC category as AIQ requires 450+ as on 2016 now it has increased more. And this year, the state quota went too high. What is left is private or jointly run colleges and fee of private colleges is also high as per Times of India and the latest exposure on NEET admissions.
