The admission to Medical colleges in India is through marks scored in NEET.
Every year the cutoff for NEET changes depending upon the difficulty level of the question paper,the number of candidates appearing for the examination,the category of the candidates etcetra.
There are two types of cutoffs:
Qualifying cutoff and Admission cutoff.
Qualifying cutoffis the minimum cutoff percentile and scores needed to qualify the entrance exam. Candidates who qualify this cutoff are only eligible to apply for admission.
Admission cutoffis the cutoff which is declared by the colleges for admitting students.
NEET 2020 qualifying cutoff percentile is as follows:
General- 50th
General-PH- 45th
SC/ST/OBC- 40th
SC/ST/OBC-PH- 40th
Now, for admission to government medical colleges, there are two types of seats. All India Quota seats and State quota seats.
To get admission through 15 percent All India Quota, you should aim to secure 600+ marks in the NEET exam and for state quota seats aim 550+ marks to get admission in government colleges.
So,kindly mention the name of your home state to get detailed information.

Hope this helps.
Good luck.
You need to get above 500 in NEET 2020 for a government medical college and below this for private ones but their fees is very high , so all you need is to score more and more.
