Hello Sruthi,
With a score of 426 in NEET UG and belonging to the ST category from Telangana, you have a fair chance of securing a seat in an MBBS program under the state quota. Telangana has a reservation policy that significantly benefits candidates from the ST category, and the cutoff marks are generally lower compared to the general category.
Based on previous years' trends, the cutoff for ST candidates in government medical colleges in Telangana usually ranges between 370 to 420 marks. Your score of 426 is slightly above this range, which increases your chances of getting a seat in a government medical college.
However, the exact cutoff can vary each year depending on factors like the number of candidates, difficulty level of the exam, and availability of seats. To maximize your chances, it's advisable to participate actively in the counseling process and keep an eye on the cutoff trends during the various rounds of counseling.
If a government seat is not secured, you still have the option of private medical colleges, where your category might provide some relaxation in the cutoff.
Good luck with your counseling and admissions!
