Have a question related to INI CET ?

With a rank of 17500 in the INICET, securing an MD seat in Pathology (Path) or Microbiology (Micro) in top-tier institutions might be challenging, but it's not impossible, depending on the year's cutoff trends and seat availability. Here are some considerations:

  1. Cutoff Trends : Examine the previous years' cutoffs for MD Pathology and Microbiology in institutions you are targeting. This will give you a realistic idea of your chances. Typically, these specializations have slightly higher cutoffs compared to more competitive fields like General Medicine or Surgery.

  2. Institution Preferences : Lesser-known institutions or those in less sought-after locations might have lower cutoffs, increasing your chances of securing a seat. Be open to considering a wider range of colleges.

  3. Counseling Participation : Actively participate in all rounds of counseling. Sometimes, seats become available in later rounds as other candidates shift their preferences.

  4. Alternative Pathways : If you don't secure a seat in the first attempt, consider preparing for the next session of INICET or exploring other entrance exams like NEET PG, which might offer more opportunities.

Persistence and flexibility in your choices will improve your chances of securing a seat in your desired specialization.
