Hello,

Being an NEET 2024 scorer of 204 as an unreserved female candidate and having domicile in Uttar Pradesh, it shall be tough to get seat in any private medical colleges in Bihar during the course of stray vacancy round because the cutoff scores for any unreserved category student shall be higher even during stray vacancies in private medical colleges. However, cutoffs vary year after year depending on the number of applications received, seats available, and the competition for admission.


To get a relatively good idea of your admission probabilities, I would suggest the Careers 360 NEET College Predictor tool. It can thus aid you in understanding the scopes and possibilities of getting you an admission in different Medical colleges based on your NEET Score, Category, or other domicile details. Kindly visit the website, Career 360, by simply putting your NEET scores and other relevant criteria which will provide you specific predictability.




Hello,

With this tool, you can easily check the options available to you for NEET PG colleges, including management quota seats. You can estimate how many colleges you can get into based on your rank using the Careers360 NEET PG College Predictor. Here's the link:

Careers360 NEET PG College Predictor

You can then put in your NEET PG rank and other details to get a better idea of how likely you are going to get a seat in some colleges and programs, like Radiation Oncology.

Hello,

The situation might make some problem arise while giving the marksheets before the admission committee, if you keep different names of your mother on your 10th and 12th mark sheets. Sometimes, all such documentation consistencies go very important to the concern, and they might find this as trouble for you. But does not say that your form will certainly be rejected, after all. Hence, to escape all of these complications,

Affidavit or Notarized Declaration: There could be an affidavit or a notarized declaration that these two names refer to the same person. This would enable a legal confirmation of identity.

Additional Supporting Documents: Collect all supporting documents like a passport and Aadhar card, which bear your mother's name as at least one of these two variations.

Contact the NEET Authorities: If possible, contact the authorities of NEET examinations or even check out the official guidelines so that discrepancies, if any, can be sorted out well in advance.

This helps avoid problems in the process of verification.

There is very least possibilities that Your mother's or father's Aadhar Card will be required at any step , so logically there should be no problem but sometimes they ask why there is discrepancy in names at yhe time of document verification if you have a reason then they take affidavit from you and you get admission.


Mostly 10th Marksheet is required as a date of birth proof these are very minor mistakes they will understand

At the end Your name should be correct and date of birth


Good luck..

Hi

For the NEET , the examination covers only three subjects:

Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) . NEET does not include Mathematics (M) as part of its syllabus , so the exam is designed  for students with a background in Biology along with Physics and Chemistry in 12th grade .

If you are preparing for NEET , you need to focus on PCB , as Mathematics is not  for this exam . NEET is primarily aimed at medical and dental program admissions , so the focus is on Biology instead of a broader range of subjects like PCMB .

For more information about NEET exam , you can drop message .

All the best
