Have a question related to NEET ?

I am EWS female and I have defence reservation how many marks i need to score in neet 2025 to get into mamc ?

To secure admission into MAMC as an EWS female with defence reservation in NEET 2025, you should aim to score around 680-700 marks as the cut-off for this category is typically lower than the general category, but still quite competitive due to the prestige of MAMC. There is only 1 to 5 percent defence reservation which means only less than 10 seats is available due to which competition is high.

I am EWS female and I have defence reservation how many marks i need to score in neet 2025 to get into mamc ?

Hello,

To get admission in Maulana Azad Medical College, Delhi under EWS and Defence quota, you would need a good score in NEET as MAMC ranks amongst the topmost medical colleges in the country. Almost 680+ marks out of 720 may be needed by a general category student to get a seat in MAMC according to the trends in the previous years.

With the EWS and Defence reservation, you may get some relaxation, but considering the high cut-off for MAMC, it would be advisable to have at least 650+ marks in order to improve your chance. Keep in mind that all the cutoffs vary every year due to the difficulty of the exam, number of candidates appearing, seat availability, and a few other things; so one needs to keep setting high targets and also know the current trends of NEET 2025.

Balancing thorough preparation with an emphasis on key subjects will give you a strong chance.

Hi my neet pg AIR 61286.which is better in service quota uttar pradesh seats or nbe diploma clinical seats through AIQ. SC category?

Hello there,

With a NEET PG AIR of 61286 and SC category, choosing between Uttar Pradesh in-service quota seats and NBE diploma clinical seats through AIQ depends on your career goals.

In-Service Quota Seats (UP) :
- Advantages : These are government positions, so securing an in-service seat offers better job security and stability. You might also get a significant fee concession and other benefits during the course.
- Consideration : UP's in-service quota seats might limit you geographically and often come with a service bond requiring you to work in rural or underserved areas post-training.
NBE Diploma Clinical Seats (AIQ) :
- Advantages : NBE diploma courses are usually shorter (2 years) compared to full MD/MS programs, and they focus on practical, clinical skills. You can specialize quickly and enter the workforce sooner.
- Consideration : Diploma courses may not offer the same level of recognition as full MD/MS programs. However, NBE diplomas are now gaining better acceptance for career progression.

Ultimately, if you're aiming for quicker specialization with flexibility, NBE diploma seats could be better. If you prioritize long-term stability and are comfortable with service obligations, in-service quota in UP might suit you more.

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

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

how much rank require in neet and cet to do course for bioinformatics

Hello,

An institution, state-wise, needs a different rank to pursue bioinformatics in India: NEET and CET.

Bioinformatics is not a regular medical program and hence might not be directly related to the NEET scores. However, certain institutions might consider NEET for associated programs. Normally, high-standard institutions would require NEET ranks under 10,000. Other institutions may accept ranks between 15,000 to 40,000 depending on their requirements for admission.

For CET, which generally is more relevant for engineering and science courses, the ranking might again vary. For acquiring a seat in good colleges, based on the state and the reputation of the college, ranks may run into only 5,000 to 20,000.

Do note that requirements may also vary widely across the institutes you might be interested in.
