AYUSH UG Counselling: Know Top Colleges, Cutoffs

Hello Aspirant,

Your NEET rank of 328948 and your ST (Plains) category from Assam will not allow you to get any MBBS seat in a government medical college under the State Quota as the ST Rastroc/ candidacy cut offs are usually between lower 1–1.5 lakh ranks in Assam. But, you might have chances in:

• Medical colleges in Assam (Private under ST Quota seats)
• BDS (Dental) courses in government/private colleges
• AYUSH courses (like BAMS/BHMS)

It is advisable to take part in state counselling & mop-up rounds and also state counselling for deemed universities if you are financially sound.

Hi! If you have scored 203 marks in NEET and you belong to the general category, then honestly It is not possible for you to get government college.   The cut-off for general category is usually much higher than what you have scored.You still have other options like you can try private medical colleges but they are very expensive.You can also try for BDS or other medical related courses.

Hello

Here is what your NEET rank (35,000), SC category, female, with Andhra Pradesh domicile, means for securing an MBBS seat in prominent government medical colleges in Andhra Pradesh

1. All India Quota (15%) – MCC Counselling

In recent years, the AIQ closing ranks for SC candidates have ranged from 1,14,000 (Round 2) to 1,30,000 (Round 3).

With a rank of 35,000, you are well within this range.

You have a very strong chance of securing an MBBS seat under the All India Quota.

2. Andhra Pradesh State Quota (85%)

a. Category-wise Cutoffs (Govt Colleges)

For SC (female) candidates under the AP state quota, the closing rank is around 2,16,000.

Your rank of 35,000 is much lower, so you are comfortably eligible for government medical colleges in Andhra Pradesh.

Immediately register for MCC AIQ counselling as soon as registration opens.

Apply for AP state quota counselling via Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences (state counselled seats).

Prepare your documents like SC certificate, AP domicile, NEET result, ID proof, etc.

State NEET counselling forms are released early to:

1. Start the process on time – States manage 85% of seats, so they begin early to avoid delays.

2. Collect student details – For documents, category, and eligibility.

3. Run smoothly with All India counselling – It helps avoid confusion by planning ahead.

4. Each state has its own schedule – They don’t need to wait for All India rounds to start.

So, it’s normal and helpful that state forms come out before or along with NEET AIQ counselling.

Hello aspirant,

This is a very common confusion among students who have appeared for NEET but don’t want to go for MBBS, BDS, or other doctor-related courses. Don’t worry  there are many other career options you can choose based on your interest, marks, and counselling rounds.

Even if you don’t want to become a doctor, you can still go for many NEET-based or biology related fields where NEET score may be used, or sometimes not even needed.

Some of the other Course options without NEET or with a Biology Background. If you’re not interested in clinical roles, you can explore:

1. BSc Nursing – A good option, available through a separate entrance or counselling. But some of the central colleges like AIIMS, AFMC, etc.You have to give the NEET, but if you want to take admission in a private or state college, you have to give their entrance exam.

2. BSc in Biotechnology / Microbiology / Biochemistry – Research and lab-based roles.

3. BSc Agriculture / Forestry / Horticulture – A Growing field with government and private jobs.

4. B.Pharm (Bachelor of Pharmacy) – Medicines, drug stores, and the pharma industry.

5. BMLT (Medical Lab Technology) – Hospital lab work and diagnostics.

6. Nutrition & Dietetics – Become a dietician you can  work in hospitals or open your own clinic .

7. Clinical Psychology / Forensic Science – For those interested in mental health or investigation roles.

Don’t be disheartened if you can’t or don’t want to become a doctor. The medical and life sciences field is vast, and there are many respected career options.

Best of luck!

These are the careers that you can choose from after NEET

- MBBS & BDS

- AYURVEDIC Streams

- BSc Nursing (4 years)

- BPT & BOT

- BVSc & AH (5.5 years)

Hello,

It is quite improbable that a student with a NEET score of 90 will be admitted to bachelor of homeopathic medicine and surgery program, particularly at Government universities. Although it varies, the Neet score required for BHMS is typically significantly higher than 90. For candidates in the general category, the minimum percentile is usually about the 50th percentile, or 138 marks.

Hello Aspirant,

A NEET score of 383, OBC category, and domicile in West Bengal will allow you to secure admission into a state quota private medical college in West Bengal, but it will be very competitive.

• Private Medical Colleges (state quota): for OBC candidates in West Bengal the state quota seat cut off marks in the private medical colleges has historically been around 370-420 marks, it really depends on the specific college and year.
• 383 marks is on the lower-mid end, you may not get top private colleges, however, there are lower rank private medical colleges that may give you admission, particularly in 2nd/final mop up rounds.

Hello, there are some rules mentioned below

Round 1: Fresh registration allowed

Round 2: Fresh registration is allowed

Mop-Up Round: Fresh registration is allowed

Stray Vacancy Round: Only registered candidates from earlier rounds can participate — no new registration allowed

So if you missed Round 1, you can register in Round 2 or Mop-Up, but not in the Stray Round.For State Counselling, most states allow fresh registrations in Mop-Up or even Round 2 (rules vary by state). Since private BHMS seats are filled through state counselling, you still have time to apply if registration opens again.
