The cutoffs of veterinary colleges in Mumbai go pretty high but since you are from NT category you might find some consolation in the cut off marks.

It will be next to impossible to get admission to an MBBS in a government college with a score of 394 in NEET because the cut-offs for government medical colleges are usually much higher than this.

This would improve in case one belongs to any reserved category (SC/ST/OBC). One can also check with private colleges for MBBS or BDS, as this would have a cut-off much lower than that for government colleges. All India and state counseling should also be given a shot to have a better chance.
