Hello there,
With
497 marks in NEET 2024
, an
All India Rank of 214,466
, and an
SC category rank of 13,991
, you have a realistic chance of securing an
MBBS seat in a government college in Maharashtra
through the
state quota
. Here’s an analysis of your situation:
Chances in Maharashtra:
-
SC Category Advantage : The SC quota in Maharashtra typically has lower cutoffs compared to general or OBC categories. With your rank, there are fair chances of admission in some government medical colleges , particularly those in tier-2 or tier-3 cities .
Late Rounds
: Often, SC candidates with similar scores secure seats in later rounds of counseling when some seats remain vacant. Keep an eye on
Mop-Up rounds
as they often have slightly lower cutoffs.
State Counseling
: As you’re in the
state quota
for Maharashtra, this will likely benefit you, as state quotas generally have more flexible cutoffs compared to All India Quota seats.
Drop Year Consideration:
If you are open to taking a drop and aim to score higher (around 550+), this would improve your chances of getting a seat in a
top-tier government medical college
. However, since 497 is a good score with fair chances for a government seat in Maharashtra, taking a drop is only advisable if you are committed to substantial improvement.
Recommendation:
-
Participate actively in Maharashtra’s state counseling
rounds, as you have a strong chance of securing a government seat.
- Only consider a drop if you feel confident about achieving a significant score increase next year.
Overall, your score and category rank should give you a reasonable shot at a government MBBS seat in Maharashtra this year!
