Dear student,

For MBBS admissions under the OBC-NCL category, recent NEET data shows that the All India Quota (15%) closing ranks usually fall between 20,000 and 25,000 . In 2024 , the last round for OBC candidates closed around 25,212 , with a NEET score of 652 . In 2023 , the final closing rank was close to 23,675 , with a score of 610 .

Under the state quota , ranks vary more depending on the college. In Karnataka , top government colleges like Bangalore Medical College had OBC closing ranks around 2,700 , while others like Gulbarga and Kodagu closed above 12,000 . In Uttar Pradesh , OBC seats under AIQ closed near 23,800 in 2024 with scores around 654 .

The qualifying percentile for OBC-NCL is generally the 40th percentile , with cutoff scores ranging from 107 (in 2023) to 163 (in 2024) , depending on the year’s difficulty level.

Overall, OBC-NCL candidates with ranks up to 25,000 in AIQ or higher ranks under state quota usually have good chances at government MBBS seats, depending on their state and college preferences.

Hello,

In Bihar:

There are around 7 to 13 colleges that offer BPT (Bachelor of Physiotherapy) courses in Bihar. Most of these colleges take admission based on 12th marks or state-level entrance exams . Very few colleges, if any, accept NEET scores for BPT in Bihar.

In All India:

Across India, there are around 500 to 520 colleges offering BPT courses. But only about 9 colleges in the whole country accept NEET scores for BPT admission. Some of them include D.Y. Patil , Lokmanya Tilak Medical College , and Goa Medical College .

So, even though NEET covers BPT, most BPT colleges do not use NEET scores. They either take direct admission based on 12th marks or conduct their own entrance tests.

Hope it helps !

Dear student,

Which college are you referring to exactly? If you're asking about a government medical college, then honestly, 180 marks under EWS category is too low for an MBBS seat. The cutoff is usually much higher—even for reserved categories.
