Hey there!

As you have scored 500 marks in neet, then you have great chance of getting admission in the private colleges in almost every state, even in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Seats in the private medical colleges are open to all, though there are some seats reserved for the home state quota. To apply in the private colleges you have to attend the respective state counseling.

Private Medical Colleges do not participate in All India Counselling. Their seats are filled through State Counselling. . And there are 3 Categories in Private Medical Colleges. Category A is the Government Quota Seats. And only candidates of the home State are eligible to apply for these seats. B Category seats are also called Management Quota Seats and they are filled through State Counselling and the remaining seats are filled through direct Admissions by contacting the College directly provided the Candidate has registered for the respective State Counselling and has not been able to secure a seat in the Counselling. Here the fees is usually nothing less than 40 lakhs. The last Category is NRI seats Category and you cannot apply for that. So even if you have scored 500, you will have to participate under Management Quota Counselling for Private Medical Colleges of Other States. Instead with a score of 500, belonging to General Category and with a domicile of Kerala, you can have a chance in:

• Azeezia Medical College
• Sree Gokulam Medical College
• KMCT Medical College

Having said that, this is based on 2019 data and cut offs change every year. Cut offs change every year depending on various factors such as no.of Candidates appearing for the exam, no.of Candidates qualified, top NEET score and difficulty of the exam.
