Hello there,

With a NEET PG 2024 rank of 38,110 and Karnataka domicile under the General Merit (GM) category, getting a clinical branch in a government college might be challenging, but not entirely impossible. The cutoffs for clinical branches in government colleges vary, and it generally depends on the specific branch and college.

Chances for Clinical Branch in Government College:

• Highly Competitive Clinical Branches (like Radiology, Dermatology, General Medicine, etc.): These branches usually have higher cutoffs, and securing a seat with your rank may be difficult.
  
  
• Less Competitive Clinical Branches (like Pathology, Anesthesia, Psychiatry, etc.): There might be a chance to secure a seat in these branches, especially in later rounds of counseling or in colleges with slightly lower cutoffs.
  
  DNB in Good Hospitals:

If a government college is not feasible, pursuing a DNB (Diplomate of National Board) in a good hospital could be a viable option. DNB courses are recognized and offer training in reputed hospitals.

Some notable hospitals for DNB that you could consider:

• St. John's Medical College Hospital, Bangalore
• Narayana Health, Bangalore
• Manipal Hospitals, Bangalore
• KIMS Hospital, Bangalore
• MS Ramaiah Medical College, Bangalore
  
  What You Can Do:

1. Participate in Counseling: Attend the state and all-India counseling sessions for both MD/MS and DNB seats. Keep an eye on the cutoffs and be flexible with branch and location preferences.
   
   

2. Consider DNB Institutes: Research and list out DNB hospitals that are well-reputed and have good clinical exposure and faculty.
   
   

3. Stay Updated: Continuously check for updates on counseling processes, as seat availability and cutoffs can change in subsequent rounds.

By keeping these options open and being proactive during counseling, you can increase your chances of securing a clinical seat that aligns with your preferences.
