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 cutoffs, 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 Greetings

With a rank of 94k in the EWS quota, the chances of getting a clinical branch are relatively low, but you may still have opportunities for non-clinical branches. According to the expected NEET PG rank-wise seat allotment, candidates with ranks between 40,000 to 80,000 may have chances for non-clinical branches like MD Biochemistry, MD Microbiology, or MD Pathology in private colleges or deemed universities . However, clinical branches like General Surgery, General Medicine, or MD Radiodiagnosis are typically more competitive and may require lower ranks. It's essential to research and prioritize your preferences during counseling to maximize your chances of securing a seat in a desirable branch.

Have a great day
