I got 442 in NEET 2024... I've decided to pursue physiotherapy.....I live in Maharashtra... Should I go for AIQ or state counselling...Will I get a better college via state counselling?

Hello there,

With a score of 442 in NEET 2024 and your interest in pursuing Physiotherapy, here's what you should consider:

1) State Counseling (Maharashtra):

• Better Chances : Since you are from Maharashtra, participating in state counseling usually gives you a better chance to secure a seat in a well-regarded college within the state.
  
  
• Domicile Advantage : You will have the domicile advantage, which typically means lower cutoffs compared to the All India Quota (AIQ).
  
  2) All India Quota (AIQ):
  
  
• Limited Seats : AIQ offers 15% of seats in government colleges across India, but competition is high, and cutoffs are generally higher.
  
  
• Broader Options : AIQ allows you to apply to colleges outside Maharashtra, but the chances of getting a top college with 442 marks might be slim.
  
  Conclusion:
  
  
• State Counseling : You have a better chance of getting into a good physiotherapy college in Maharashtra through state counseling due to domicile preference and lower cutoffs.
  
  
• AIQ : Consider AIQ only if you are open to studying outside Maharashtra and exploring options in other states.
  
  

Overall, state counseling seems to be the better option for securing a seat in a good college.
