NEET will be held on May 6, 2018, AIIMS MBBS is scheduled for May 26 & 27, 2018, and JIPMER MBBS will be conducted on June 3, 2018. With only a month left for NEET 2018 and a little more for AIIMS MBBS 2018 and JIPMER MBBS 2018, anxieties are building up and students are getting jittery at the prospect of covering vast syllabi and handling these tough exams simultaneously. As overwhelming as it may seem to appear for all three consecutively within the span of a few days, the trick lies in not treating them differently from each other, suggests Deric Joseph, topper in all three MBBS entrance exams in 2017 with All India Rank (AIR) 6 in NEET, AIR 16 in AIIMS and AIR 17 in JIPMER. According to him, “There is no alternative but hard work. The syllabus is the same and if you keep your focus on gaining conceptual clarity instead of rote learning, it won’t make much difference which exam you sit for”.

What students should keep in mind is that the challenge of scoring good marks in all three of NEET, AIIMS and JIPMER can be met by having a lucid understanding of exam patterns and devising a solid preparation plan.
Common preparation tips for NEET, AIIMS MBBS and JIPMER MBBS
Combining the preparation for all three medical entrances is a commonly agreed upon strategy by teachers and toppers alike since the syllabus and core study material are the same for all. Here are some NEET 2018, AIIMS MBBS 2018 and JIPMER MBBS 2018 preparation mantras.
Craft a solid study plan: With only around 40 days remaining for NEET, it is important that preparations for the exams are optimized as per the time left. Aspirants can maintain a calendar beside their study table encircling the important exam dates of NEET 2018, AIIMS MBBS 2018 and JIPMER MBBS 2018. This will act as a useful reminder in terms of how much time is left and subconsciously guide one’s preparation speed. Based on the preparation levels, draft the study routine and divide time between topics of Physics, Chemistry and Biology. The NEET 2018, AIIMS MBBS 2018 and JIPMER MBBS 2018 preparation study routine should take into account the time needed for solving sample papers and covering the entire syllabus.
Focus on conceptual clarity: Aspirants possessing clarity of concepts will be able to shine in all the exams. Hence, it is important to focus on gaining conceptual clarity instead of rote learning. However, asserting on conceptual clarity doesn’t mean that one should get overwhelmed with the unnecessary details and information in these last weeks.
Subject-wise preparation of ‘hot topics’: It is natural to have favourites amongst Physics, Chemistry and Biology, but a smart preparation plan for NEET 2018, AIIMS MBBS 2018 and JIPMER MBBS 2018 entails balanced studies.
Candidates can divide each subject’s chapters into ‘Major’ and ‘Minor’, including high-scoring and low-scoring chapters respectively. While the syllabus of Physics, Chemistry and Biology is same for NEET 2018, AIIMS MBBS 2018 and JIPMER MBBS 2018, and similar type MCQs are asked in all three entrances, AIIMS MBBS 2018 differs in the respect that a lot of Assertion-Reason questions are asked in it. Do the revision of chapters and solve mocks/sample question papers every day, suggests Deric while talking about his subject-wise preparation strategy.
Mock Tests: Do not wait until the syllabus is completed for starting full-length mock tests. As a thumb rule, “the frequency of mocks and previous year papers should increase in the last few months”, recommends Deric. Analyse your performance afterwards and try to gauge the ‘Raw Score’. The Raw Score represents one’s true score after eliminating intelligent or blind guesses. If the Raw Score increases with mocks, it would mean that the right preparation strategy is being followed.
Revision Strategy: Revisions should be the hallmark of final months. Candidates can prepare concept sheets containing subject-wise formulas and important points for easy reference.
How NOT to prepare for NEET/AIIMS/JIPMER?
Knowing what must be done does away with fear and knowing what must NOT be done instils trust in what is done. Candidates are advised to NOT do the following during their NEET, AIIMS and JIPMER preparations.
Do not leave preparation of one subject in favour of another. Do a balanced study as each subject play a decisive role in determining the final score and rank.
Do not blindly attempt mocks. Analyze your performance after each mock.
Do not extend study hours beyond healthy levels. Engage in suitable stress-relieving activities.
Do not get stuck with difficult questions. Spend only limited time on them and move on to the other high-scoring moderate to easy questions.

As per the eligibilty criteria for NEET 2021 for SC category, candidate must have atleast 40% in 10+2 with PCB. So, you are eligible to write NEET 2021 exam but you need to work hard and score good marks in NEET so as to grab a good medical college in India. To know more, visit here:

Doneet counseling required high intermediate or 12th percentage to give admission in medical Collegemy pcb 44.7 inter 53%can get mbbs to admission in medical College by neet counseling in neet exam with 550above how do neet counseling done and how much inter percentage required for neet counselling
No, you don't need high percentage in your 12th to be eligible for neet counselling.
You just need to be eligible for neet examination with percentage in pcb i. e you should have passed 12th board examination with physics, chemistry ,biology/biotechnology and English and must have got at least 50 % in aggregate of PCB i.e Physics, Chemistry and Biology /biotechnology in 12th examination if belongs to general category , or at least 40% in aggregate of PCB if belongs to Obc/ Sc /stcategory.
Now,
Your aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology is
= 44 . 7 % i.e lesser than 50% , but more than 40 % so you are not eligible for Neet if you belong to general category but if you belong to OBC/ SC or St category then yes you are eligible for Neet examination.
From your previous question that I answered, I know you are from obc category. So, don't worry with 44.7 % in pcb you are eligible for neet and neet counselling too and after qualifying Neet examination you can get admission in Medical Colleges on the basis of rank or marks obtained by you in NEET
Your profile suggests that your domicile state is AP.
So, to give you example for eligibility for neet counselling, below is the eligibility criteria for AP neet counselling:-
* must be 10+2 or its equivalent passed with PCB i. e Physics, Chemistry, Biology (Botany, Zoology)/Biotechnology and English
* Percentage requirement in PCB for different categories in 12th:-
-)OC - 50% marks
-)BC/SC/ST - 40%
-)OC PH - 45%
*Age :- should be 17 years by December of the year of admission i. e 31st December 2021 in case if you are going to appear in neet 2021
* Must have qualified neet exam. Qualifying cut off for different categories is :-
-)OC- 50th Percentile in neet ug
-)BC- 40th Percentile in NEET ug
-)SC/ST - 40th Percentile in neet ug
-)OC PH - 40th Percentile in neet UG
You can check the same at official website of Dr NTR UNIVERSITY of health Sciences which conducts AP neet counselling , the link is provided below :-
http://ntruhs.ap.nic.in/Admissions/index.html
And yes you have chances to get a seat with 550 marks.
For example,
in neet 2019, 449 marks for obc category was the cut off marks to get a seat in government medical college under under AP state quota AU region and it was for Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Srikakulam
I hope that I was able to clear all your doubts.
Thank you
