Careers360: Congratulations on your achievement! How do you feel about it?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: I am delighted

Careers360 Where did your interest in medicine come from?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: When I joined a coaching institute for preparation, I started liking biology and decided to pursue it. Earlier I was unsure about choosing between math and biology. My decision to join the coaching institute in Class 9 was to make sure I would not make a wrong choice when I chose the subject in Class 11. Coaching institutes were a great way for me when selecting subjects in class 11, and I am glad I did.

Careers360:Is this your first attempt?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: Yes, it is the first time I have attempted NEET in 2022.

Careers360: How long did it take you to start seriously studying for the NEET?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: It was only in class 11 that actual NEET preparation began.

Careers360: Has school studying and NEET preparation been manageable for you?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: The two exams were never separated, and I prepared them together. It was more about understanding concepts and asking as many questions as possible to clarify any doubts I might have. In order to be successful in either subjective or objective contests, you need a solid grasp of the fundamentals and a lot of practice. Immediately following my board exam, I practiced as many previous year's NEET question papers as possible and took as many NEET mock tests as possible.

Careers360:What is the importance of self-study to you?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: The day started with schooling, followed by coaching classes. The remaining time was dedicated to self-study, but I didn't forget to have fun, as it's important not to overdo things. The one thing I make sure to maintain is my love of listening to music.

Careers360:How would you rate your strengths and weaknesses in each subject?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: I have always considered biology my strongest and favorite subject. In truth, I pursued MBBS only for the biology course, and there was no such thing as a weak subject. It was just that physics took a little more time, and I had to practice a lot.

Careers360: How did you approach the NEET question papers?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: There was no strategic approach, and I simply followed the order of the question papers

Careers360:When it comes to pursuing MBBS, which college is your first choice?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: Like every other topper, AIIMS Delhi is my first college of preference.

Careers360:Whom do you attribute your success to?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: My parents and teachers have the most substantial influence on me. I was born to a pharmacist mother and a doctor father. My parents both work in the medical field.

Careers360: To aspirants preparing for NEET, what advice would you give?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: There is no doubt that hard work is the key to success, but hard work without a plan can be fruitless. Time management is something that everyone should learn. Aside from that, you shouldn't ignore a teacher's guidance because it is a blessing. Maintain a regular study schedule and clarify doubts as soon as they arise. Make sure you don't put it behind your back, thinking I will get to it later. If doubt remains, do not move on to another chapter or subject until the question has been answered.

Careers360: What are some helpful time management tips you can share?

Zeel Vipul Vyas: Prioritizing things and giving equal importance to board and NEET exams is very critical. Preparation should begin as soon as you become aware of the upcoming subject. The best way to do your homework is in advance. It may seem overwhelming at first, but with constant effort, the challenge will become your strength, and you will be glad you didn't give up.

Hey Aaryan !

If you paid Rs. 5 lakh as a refundable security deposit during NEET UG counselling for a deemed university and are now paying college fees under the Post Matric Scholarship (PMS) for SC category students, the Rs. 5 lakh deposit cannot be refunded or adjusted against your tuition fees.

According to the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), the refundable security deposit is only refunded if you do not get a seat after all rounds of counselling. If you have got a seat and joined the college, the deposit is adjusted against the first-year tuition fees. This happens regardless of any scholarships you receive.

So, the Rs. 5 lakh deposit will not be refunded or adjusted with your PMS scholarship.

Hope it helps !

Hi! With around 410 marks in NEET UG 2025 , getting a government medical college is quite tough in the General category , but if you belong to OBC/SC/ST or are applying through State quota in states with lower cutoffs (like some North-Eastern states), you might have a chance—especially for BDS, BHMS, or BAMS courses.

To get a better idea, you can use the NEET College Predictor by Careers360 .

Good luck!

Hello Nirmal,

With 352 marks in NEET 2025 and belonging to the SC category , getting an MBBS seat is possible but depends on the state and counseling .

Key points:

  • Cutoffs vary by state and college.

  • For many government medical colleges , SC category cutoffs are lower than general.

  • In some states, 350+ marks for SC category may get a seat in government or private colleges.

  • You can also look for seats in private medical colleges through management quota or state counseling.

  • Participate in state counseling actively and keep an eye on round-wise seat allotments .


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
