All the very best!

Hello Sir,

As you describe, your son got NEET UG scores of 465 marks and an AIR of 98037 in the MBC category. With these marks and ranks, your son can easily get a seat in government college with lower cutoffs. If you guys still don't get into the government colleges, you can easily get admission to private colleges with management quota admission.

I hope it clears your query!!

Hello ma'am,

Thanks for reaching out!

With 311 marks in NEET 2025 and being from the BC-D category ,getting an MBBS seat in Govt Colleges is tough, as cut-offs are usually higher.however you have chances in private colleges or under management/NRI quota seats , depending on your state counsiling and fees

Consider BDS,BHMS or BAMS as options and definitely participate in councelling to explore all possible seats.

Counselling info : https://www.careers360.com/campaign/NEET-UG-Counseling-Subscription

For NEET 2025, candidates applying under the Kashmiri Migrant quota in the General category typically require a score in the range of 330 to 380 to be considered for MBBS seats. In past years, some admissions under this quota have been secured with scores around 340, especially in the later rounds of counselling.

However, to increase your chances of admission, especially in more competitive colleges or in Delhi, it is advisable to aim for a score of 380 or higher. A score of 400 or above would place you in a stronger position across most colleges that accept candidates under the Kashmiri Migrant quota.

This quota generally offers some relaxation compared to the open General category cutoffs, which often exceed 600 marks, particularly for top government medical colleges.
