NEET

The selection process for MBBS admissions in India involves the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET), which is the mandatory entrance exam for admission to MBBS courses in India. The minimum marks required in NEET for MBBS depend on the category to which the candidate belongs to. The minimum cut-off percentile for the unreserved candidate is the 50th percentile. Similarly, it is the 40th percentile for OBC and ST/OH categories. Candidates who secure marks equal to or more than the minimum marks required in NEET for MBBS are called to appear in the counselling round. The NEET cut-off percentile for the general, OBC and ST/SC category to qualify for the entrance exam is 50th, 40th and 40th respectively. The NEET score for MBBS depends upon various factors such as the number of candidates applied, level of difficulty, seats available, and scores obtained in the NEET exam.

The probability is low, but there are chances that you might get admission at the Medical college Kolkata.  590+ marks can get you a seat in the top colleges through state quota. The 480+ marks is a marginal score that has a chance to get you into the state quota. But if students get less than this, then they can get admission only in the private medical colleges. It is quite impressive if they get 400+ marks, considering the difficulty level of the examination. 

The admissions for the medical colleges also depend on the category candidates belong to. If the candidate belongs to OBC category and they get a score of 480 marks then you might not get a seat at any government medical college. Since Medical college of Kolkata is a public or government college, possibility is less. 

The minimum NEET percentage required for MBBS depends on the category to which the candidate belongs to. For exam the minimum cutoff for unreserved categories is 50%, while for SC/ST and OBC it is 40%. The Medical counselling committee or MCC releases the minimum marks or the cut off marks. There are several factors that are considered for determining the minimum marks. They are the total number of candidates attempting the NEET exam, difficulty level of NEET exam,   total seats available, format of the exam, Normalisation method. The MCC also announces the opening and closing ranks for the different categories and rounds. The cutoff marks are of two categories namely the national level quota and the state level based quota. The candidates who scored more than the cutoff are called to appear for the counselling process. This is the next main process. In this process the candidate will be given a range of college he or she would be eligible to apply, according to the marks and ranks secured by them.
