I got a score of 497 out of 720 in Neet UG 2024. My AIR rank is 214466 and My SC category Rank is 13991.Are there any chances to get a govt medical College in Maharashtra? If yes, then which one? Or taking a drop would be a better option or not? I'm confused please help.

Hello there,

With a NEET UG score of 497, an All India Rank (AIR) of 214,466, and an SC category rank of 13,991, your chances of securing a government medical college seat in Maharashtra are quite limited this year. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

Chances of Admission in Maharashtra:

1. Cutoff Trends : Historically, the cutoff for government medical colleges in Maharashtra tends to be significantly higher than 497, especially for general and OBC categories. For SC candidates, some government colleges might have lower cutoffs, but they still generally hover above 500 marks.
   
   

• Pros of Dropping :

  • Opportunity to improve your score with a year of focused preparation.
  • Potentially better options for government colleges if you can increase your score significantly.
    
    

• Cons of Dropping :

  • Uncertainty in future cutoffs and competition.
  • Loss of a year which could impact your plans or financial situation.
    
    Conclusion:

Considering your current score and rank, it might be wise to explore both private colleges and other alternatives if you wish to pursue medicine this year. However, if you are committed to joining a government medical college and feel confident about improving your NEET score, taking a drop year for better preparation could be a beneficial option.
