Hello there,

With a score of 282 marks in NEET 2024, your chances of securing a seat in an MBBS program at a government medical college are quite slim, especially in most states where the cut-off marks are generally higher. Here are a few points to consider:

1. Cut-off Trends:

• Government Colleges: The cut-off for MBBS in government colleges usually ranges significantly higher, often above 400-450 marks for general category candidates and somewhat lower for reserved categories, but still likely above 300 marks.
  
  
• Private Colleges: Some private medical colleges may have lower cut-offs, but they often have higher fees.
  
  2. Category Consideration:
  
  
• If you belong to a reserved category (SC/ST/OBC), there might be slightly more leniency in cut-offs, but typically scores below 300 still face challenges in getting a seat.
  
  3. Counseling Process:
  
  
• Participate in the counseling process to explore available options. Sometimes, there are lesser-known colleges or seats that might be open.
  
  4. Alternative Options:
  
  
• Consider other healthcare courses (like BDS, BHMS, BAMS, or nursing) if MBBS is not feasible with your current score. These can also lead to fulfilling careers in healthcare.
  
  

While 282 marks might not be enough for MBBS admission, keep an eye on private college options and other health science courses. It’s essential to stay updated on cut-off trends and counseling processes.
