Dear Nihal, unfortunately you cannot get a seat anywhere. You have qualified in NEET but not evwry qualified candidate can get a sear. The reason being, there are approximately 66000 Medical Seats across India. And then there are 15 lakh students who appeared and quite few who qualified. Inspite of that there is heavy competition among seats. With a score of 260, your rank will be probably in Lakhs and so you cannot get a Medical Seat. You may have to try in Management Quota.

Hello Nihal,

150 marks is very less for getting admission in good colleges.

I will recommend you to take a gap this year and try next year.

Hi Nihal,

I  am not sure if you would get any decent colleges for MBBS with 150 unless you are looking to go for BPT or BHMS. However if study abroad is an option for you, by chance you have cleared just the cut off for the NEET, you may apply there for MBBS. In fact it will be cheaper, and you can even save your year instead of dropping, and retaking the exam. Or if you want to study in India then..I would recommend you to retake the NEET examination as 171 is quite low for MBBS admissions. I understand it might take time to re-learn those PCB concepts, but if you're looking for a decent college I would strongly advise you to retake the exam.

Or you can either try one of the following options:

1) Look at study abroad programs in which you can do your MBBS from a different country like Russia or some other country.

2) Drop  another year for NEET. And expect yourself to do well next year but the only problem is that people are usually disheartened after failing in such competitive examinations. So go for it,  if you feel confident and if you know that you'll clear NEET no matter what otherwise learning stuff with no confidence on yourself can cause you to fall behind in your studies.

3) Change your field! You can look to go into research fields by taking admission in B.Sc. or you  can study for CLAT if you feel that medical field is not working out for you. I have seen people leaving engineering/medical preparations for CLAT, and they were successful at accomplishing a great rank (even under 100 AIR)… People say that it's comparatively easier than engineering/medical so it might work out for you.

And most importantly don't waste your year, if you are truly passionate about being a doctor then only take this step of dropping a year or else you are wasting your time. If you do then study hard! And try to score 550+ for decent colleges.

Don't feel disheartened, keep trying and keep learning! All the best for your future!

Hope this helps!

Good luck! :)
