Dear Hrithik, for being eligible for NEET, you should have scored 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. It is 50% for General Category. Now to be qualified in NEET, you should score 50 percentile of top NEET score if you belong to General Category. Now cut offs change every year and are dependant on various factors like no.of candidates appearing for NEET, no.of candidates qualified, top NEET score and difficulty of the exam. Let me give you an example. In 2019, the general NEET cut offs increased by 15 marks but in Tamilnadu, the cut offs went as high as 70-100 marks. UP had a cut off of 469 for General Category in State Quota and 429 for OBC under State Quota in 2018. However, in 2019, even 550 marks couldnt get a MBBS seat even in a Private Medical College. Having said that what acts in your favour is almost 75 new Medical Colleges will come up in 2020 increasing the medical seats atleast by 90,000. So if you can score atleast 550-600, you can get a GMC in State Counselling. But if you are planning for a seat in a State that you do not have a domicile of, you should aim for nothing less than 650.

Hello,

Yes, going by the current standards, you will be able to get a government medical college with 550 marks. However, you will get it through the state quota counseling and not through the All India Quota. How good a college you will get will stoll depend on your home state , competition and the level of question paper. All the best!
