Careers360: How did you come to know about Careers360?

Dr Goyal: While I was looking for data, I started searching online about what are the colleges available for me and then I came across Careers360 as one of the platforms. So, I went and had a call with them and they told me about all the services they are providing.

Careers360: Was the guidance given as per your choice?

Dr Goyal: The team provided me with the guidance about what is the next step to be taken because the school counselling process is like a bigger task than preparing for NEET PG Exam. I had quite a few calls with the Careers360 team and they explained to me the whole process.

Careers360: What is the process being followed to get the students placed and do you like the process followed?

Dr Goyal: Yes, the team helped in understanding the steps of counselling, documents that need to be prepared and different options I have. They curated a list for me and also they gave suggestions about the things I can look for in the state counselling. This year's counselling there were quite a lot of delays from the state counselling especially the Karnataka PG medical counselling.

Careers360: How does your counsellor motivate you?

Dr Goyal: Careers360’s counsellor was of really great help. She gave me the confidence that I can let go of the DNB that I am getting and wait for state counselling and can get into MD/MS because by the time I was getting this DNB I had no other seating in hand. I wasn't really sure if it will be a wise choice to let go off what I am getting in the hope of something that I am not sure I will get or not but the team assured me with the data of last year that I do have good chances of getting into MD/MS and so I waited for the state counselling.

Careers360: In which branch got admission after the one-to-one counselling with our team?

Dr Goyal: For this year's counselling there were quite a lot of delays from the state counselling, especially the Karnataka state counselling which I was aiming for because of the high court case. I was getting DNB Institute but looking at last year's NEET PG cutoff, I was somewhere sure that I will get a good college. The OBG branch is one of the branches that I was hoping for.

Careers360: Are you happy? Will you recommend Careers360’s counselling package to your connections?

Dr Goyal: I have been able to get into this college. Finally I got MS OBG In JJM College Devangere and I'm really happy. I am so thankful to the team, thank you to careers360 for helping me in this journey. Thank you.

Hello,

You should aim for a NEET PG score of roughly 620 for paediatrics and 580 for orthopaedics in order to be admitted to Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute (BMCRI) under the SC category as an MD Paediatrics or MS Orthopaedics student. These projections are based on cutoffs from prior years and could change based on variables like exam difficulty and seat availability. To increase your chances, it is advised that you take part in both Karnataka State Quota and All India Quota counselling. Keeping abreast of official counselling notifications will assist you in making well-informed choices throughout the admissions process.
All the best.

NEET PG 2024 cutoff


hello,

College, course and category all affected the NEET PG 2023 All India Quota (AIQ) cut-offs. In government medical colleges, the respected MD Radiodiagnosis and MS General Surgery courses had ranking positions in the top 1,000. In particular, certain government-run medical colleges stopped MS Surgery at any score above 150 in the AIR exam. Some colleges and reservation categories saw MD Emergency Medicine and MD Pathology ranking as low as AIR 6,000, while others had lower closing ranks, as high as AIR 20,000. All the leading institutions reported high competition for the clinical cut-offs.


Hello,

If you made a mistake in the registration number but uploaded the correct permanent registration certificate with the right number, usually your form won’t be rejected.

The certificate you uploaded is the key proof. However, to be safe, you should contact the NEET PG helpdesk or the exam authority and inform them about the mistake. They can guide you on what to do next.

Hope it helps !
