Dear Yash, it depends on your Category. In general to qualify in NEET, for a General Category Candidate it is 50% of top NEET score, for PWD it is 45% and it is 40% for SC,ST,OBC. Now not every qualified candidate can get a seat in a Medical College. Having said that, cut offs change every year and are dependant on various factors like no.of seats available, no.of candidates appearing for the exam, top NEET score and difficulty of the exam. This year cut offs have gone way higher and the top NEET score was 701. Going by that any score less than 650 cannot get you a seat in the top Medical Colleges if you belong to General Category. Always remember that 'Higher the score, better the prospects'.

Hello Yash,

Top 10 medical colleges in India includes

• Maulana azad medical college, New Delhi
• Armed Forces Medical college, Pune
• Kasturba medical college, Manipal
• King George's medical college, Lucknow
• UCMS Delhi etc

If you will take admission in these colleges through all India qouta you need to score atleast 640+ as there are very limited seats for all India qouta in these colleges.

But if you are also eligible for 85% state qouta for any of these colleges still you need to score 610+ you assure your admission in these colleges.

I hope this helps.

• All the best for the future!!

Few factors to be kept in mind while deciding your ideal neet score are as follows which help you set a target-

• Number of candidates:- This is a major factor as nearly 12 lakhs aspirants more are appearing every year. This means students scoring X marks increases and hence rank inflation is seen. Earlier only 2K students use to cross the 600 marks and now the same marks have been achieved by nearly 8K-9K aspirants.
• Level of exam:- Another major factor. If paper comes easy, your exam temperament will play a major role as in hard paper, everyone makes blunders or attempts less questions, but in an easy question paper, one blunder can cost you and actually everyone ends up attempting many questions due to tukka-logy and easy questions.
• Your state:- Generally, as state quota has 85% reservation, it becomes a plus point to get a seat in your state. Here also states like Tamil Nadu, West Bengal has very low cut-off but states like UP, Bihar have very high cutoff- Delhi-no need to even comment on Delhi.Hence for some even 520 has chances to get a gmc if they belong to a low cutoff state and for some 550560 doesnt even have a chance if they belong to a high cutoff state.
• Reservation:- No need to stress on this. I read somewhere that a student at around 1.2K rank in AIIMS didnt get any AIIMS this time but same student at around the same rank got AIIMS Delhi!, because he/she was from SC/ST Category. Cutoff isnt that much different for OBC NCL- but still its better than general of course. For general, yea its difficult but atleast you can use that as a purpose, as a motivation and be satisfied that you got that particular college on the basis of merit and not reservation.
• So considering all this, I would say to get a government medical college, a safe score is 610+, my opinion.
