NEET Scores

It goes like getting a score of 76 at NEET; getting admission to any BHMS programme from the private colleges is not so probable. For a general category, it usually starts up to 117 marks from the BHMS in the private colleges and in case of SC/ST/OBC, with marks ranging as starting cut-offs at 105. So, this particular score lies miles away from the already created tough cut-offs in admissions. You may also consider looking at colleges with lower cutoffs or other healthcare courses that may take your current score. Note: The best sources of information about that college's requirements are usually the college itself.

Your chance entry in the MBBS class considering a score of 411 in NEET with an AIR of 357612 looks pretty bleak. Considering a cut-off of above 450 scores for most government colleges and a few private colleges which demand around 300 scores, your rank does not leave much hope. Besides, there is a good likelihood that you might get qualified in one or two of the deemed universities with even lower cut-offs, maybe only in management quota. Admission to government colleges is highly competitive, and you may well be advised to look elsewhere if you really want to do MBBS.

With a NEET score around 200, your best chances for admission to a private medical college for MBBS or BDS would likely lie with lesser-known private colleges in less competitive regions, as most reputed private colleges will have significantly higher cut-offs; consider options like Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, Datta Meghe Institute of Higher Education and Research, Wardha, and Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, Chennai; however, be prepared for high fees at these institutions. 

It is difficult to get an MBBS seat at a government medical college in Hyderabad with a NEET score of 460, particularly for applicants in the General category. Cutoffs are higher at Telangana's premier government medical schools, such as Gandhi Medical College and Osmania Medical College. In NEET 2023 for the example Osmania Medical College closing rank for the General category was 4247 or 570 marks.

However as cutoffs for reserved categories (SC ST and OBC) are typically lower there may be chance if you fall into the one of these groups. For instance Osmania Medical College SC category closing rank was 48222 or roughly 443 marks

No, a score of 157 marks on the NEET exam is unlikely to be enough to get an MBBS seat:
