Hello,

A score of 450 in the NEET might enable you to get admission to AGMC according to your category, state quota, and annual cutoffs. Generally, 450 marks could probably be competitive under state quotas; however, it might not necessarily guarantee a seat under the All India Quota.

Using the Careers360 NEET College Predictor is one way of ascertaining the chances. The application will consider NEET scores, category, home state, and previous years' trends to give an estimate of which colleges a student might qualify for. It is simply a case of filling in details on the Careers360 website, and it churns out a list of potential colleges - in this case, AGMC.

Regarding the fees, it is pretty low and being a government medical college, the tuition fee is about 30,000-50,000 for a year. Add to that all other expenses towards hostels, exams etc may hike it to around 60,000-70,000 per year. For more latest updates you may refer to the website of AGMC or call up their office for admission.

Yes, certainly, you can get admission in MBBS college after passing the NEET exam even after you have done your 12th class through the MP SOS or Ruk Jana Nahi Yojana scheme.


Mostly, eligibility criteria depend upon your NEET performance and your 12th class studies in major subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Provided you have passed 12th class from any recognized board even MP SOS and fulfill eligibility criteria of NEET, you may get yourself registered for MBBS admissions.


These are some key considerations to keep in mind:


A good NEET score is highly essential to get a seat in a good medical college.

State Quota Seats: If you are from the State of Madhya Pradesh, you can be eligible for state quota seats in government medical colleges.

All India Quota Seats: The seats will be filled based upon your NEET All India Rank.

You might even be requested to provide your 12th mark sheet and more documents during the admission procedure.

So, to ensure that the entire admission procedure is smooth and free from problems, keep your document ready for verification:

Prepare your documents in full. This may include 12th mark sheet, NEET admit card, and scorecard.

Consult a Career Counsellor: Seek a career counselor to take you through all the admission processes and valuable advice.

Update Yourself: Keep yourself updated with the latest information regarding admission process, cut-offs and counselling rounds.

By adhering to these guidelines and getting a good NEET score, one can get himself a seat in a good medical college.

Usually, universities offer bridging courses or introductory modules that one may have to attend in case one does not have much of a background in computer science or information technology.


Preparation for Information Science Course Entrance Exam:


Familiarize yourself with the Syllabus: Look through the syllabus for the entrance exam you are targeting. From here, you will know where to concentrate.

Update Yourself with Basic Computer Science Concepts: For those who haven't had in-depth academic training, take some time and get familiar with programming basics, data structures, and basic algorithms.
