No, with an All India Rank of 1,60,193 in the SC category, it is unlikely that you will get a government engineering seat in Karnataka. The cutoff ranks for the SC category in government colleges are generally much lower.


Hello,

With a 10 lakh rank in NEET and ST category, it is very difficult to get a government medical college , even under the ST quota. Government colleges usually have much higher cut-offs, even for reserved categories.

You can still try under the State Quota , as state cut-offs are usually lower than All India Quota. But chances are very low for MBBS in government colleges.

You can look for:

  • BDS (Dental) in government or private colleges

  • MBBS in private colleges or through management/NRI quota

  • Other medical courses like BAMS, BHMS, BPT, Nursing, etc.

Apply through State Quota first, and also check options under All India Quota just in case any seat remains vacant.

Hope it helps !

Hello Neha,

With a NEET 2025 score of 337, 84 percentile, an AIR of 344243, and an OBC rank of 164433, you may find it difficult to secure a government MBBS seat in South India, especially in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, or Kerala where OBC cutoffs generally higher in these states. You still have options in:

  • Private Medical Colleges (management/NRI quota)
  • Deemed Universities.
  • You could look at BDS, AYUSH (BAMS, BHMS, etc.), or paramedical options as well.

Always check with your State level counselling (like, KEA, TN Medical Selection etc.) for the latest cutoffs and seat matrix. Also watch out for Mop-Up and Stray Vacancy rounds as cut off may drop a few points.
