As an OC general candidate, it may be difficult to get a medical seat from a Muslim minority college with less cut off. Medical colleges take category-based reservations in precedence, such as minority candidates' reservations, and the cutoff, in most cases, relies on the number of vacant seats and the reservation policy. Here, Muslim minority colleges reserve few seats for minority students while general category students can avail of the opportunity. These colleges also do offer seats but on the low cutoff, so all that depends on your NEET score, competition, and specific college admission criteria.

In India, to open a pharmacy, you generally need to fulfill the requirements set by the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI). Generally, you would need a Diploma in Pharmacy (D. Pharm) or a Bachelor of Pharmacy (B. Pharm) degree to get a license to run a pharmacy. 10 years of experience in front-end pharmacy operations is worth its weight in gold, but it does not get you licensed without a qualification. One can take D.Pharm or B. Pharm and, after that, apply for a license from your state's pharmacy council.

You will need to register first on the official website for NEET counseling in order to participate with 563 marks and an EWS category. The official counseling websites may be managed by the MCC for all India counseling or may be the counseling authorities of the respective states.
