Mai bhms 2nd year me hu..Mai apna admission cancel Karke neet 2021 de sakata hu kya plzz reply
Hi
Yes, you can leave your BHMS course and can give Neet examination
This is because,
There is no rule which says that if you are doing bhms or any graduation or leave it in between you become ineligible for Neet examination, as to be eligible for neet what all one needs is :
* to must 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
-) at least 40% in aggregate of PCB if belongs to Obc/ Sc /st category
-)at least 45 % in aggregate of PCB in case of general/ews pwd candidates to be eligible.
So , you are definitely eligible for Neet 2021 examination ,even if you leave bhms in between and after qualifying Neet examination you can get admission in medical colleges for MBBS etc on the basis of rank or marks obtained by you in NEET
But yes,
You need to check your college Bond once which was signed by you during the admission because you may need to pay penalty amount for leaving the BHMS seat without the completion of course.
For example,
In North Eastern Institute of Ayurveda and Homoeopathy-Ayurveda Shilong as per their bond , if you leave the BHMS seat within one month of admission then you have to pay penalty of 50,000 rupees but if you leave any time after one month of admission then to pay penalty of 3 lakh rupees
You can check the same at its official website , the link is provided below

How much should I score in NEET 2021 to get a sure seat in Jawahar lal nehru medical college,belgaum, I belong to SC category and have a Karnataka state domicile
It is very difficult to predict marks required to get a seat in Jawaharalal Nehru Medical College, Belgaum , but when we go through previous year trends then,
In neet 2020 , 128819 rank for sc category was the cut off rank that got a seat in Jawaharalal Nehru Medical College, Belgaum under karnataka state quota
You can check the same at
https://cache.careers360.mobi/media/uploads/froala_editor/files/medi_cutoff_gen.pdf
And , 128819 rank is round 450 marks
For example,
In neet 2020 , 128800 rank was obtained by a student with 453 marks.
But yes,
cut off marks / rank for medical colleges keeps changing every year depending upon various factors like number of students that appeared in the neet examination, kind of marks obtained by them in neet , toughness level of the neet examination, number of seats available etc.
So , you should have at least 475 marks to be on the safer side in your neet 2021 examination .
Now , limited time is left for your neet 2021 examination, so focus on preparation, go through the chapters , practise questions and then revise them, go through mock test papers once you are done with complete syllabus.
Thankyou
how much marks needed in neet to get admission in government colleges in andhrapradesh for mbbs o. c
Hi
Predicting the marks required to get a seat in a government medical college is quite difficult but when we go through previous year trends then
We don't have Neet 2020 data yet but
In neet 2019 , 526 marks for general category was the cut off marks/ lowest marks that got an mbbs seat in a government medical college under AP state quota and it was for ACSR Government Medical College, Nellore
You can check the same at
https://medicine.careers360.com/articles/neet-cutoff-ap
But yes,
cut off marks / rank for medical colleges keeps changing every year depending upon various factors like number of students that appeared in the neet examination, kind of marks obtained by students in neet , toughness level of the neet examination, number of seats available etc.
So , you should try to get at least 50 marks more in comparison of Neet 2019 in your Neet 2021 Examination to be on the safer side, so you should try to get at least around 575 marks.
Now , limited time is left for your neet 2021 examination, so focus on preparation, go through the chapters , practise questions and then revise them, go through mock test papers once you are done with complete syllabus.

Sir, I have completed my b. sc nursing course. can I get a lateral entry in mbbs without neet?
I am extremely sorry to inform you dear but there is nothing like lateral entry in the course of MBBS so even if you have pursued your BSc nursing and to pursue MBBS ,there is no way other than Neet examination.
To help you further , if you plan to give Neet for MBBS I would like to tell you that for considering your eligibility for Neet ,your BSc nursing degree will not be taken account , you will be eligible for Neet only if you fulfill the given below criteria with your 12th qualification
you must 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
-) at least 40% in aggregate of PCB if belongs to Obc/ Sc /stcategory
-)at least 45 % in aggregate of PCB in case of general pwd candidates to be eligible.
Also,
There is no upper age limit for Neet 2021
So, if you fulfil these criteria then you are eligible for Neet and after qualifying Neet you can get admission in MBBS on the basis of rank obtained by you in NEET but there is no way other than neet like lateral entry or anything like that .
