Medicine Entrance Exam

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.

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.
