MBBS admission — your questions answered
There is no single number — it depends on the state, college tier and admission route. For management or NRI quota in private colleges, the cut-off is significantly lower than the state-quota merit list. Send us your score and we will tell you exactly which colleges are reachable.
For NMC/NCISM-regulated medical courses, no — a valid NEET-UG score is mandatory. For some management and law courses, alternative institutional or state CETs are accepted, and we can guide you through those routes.
Add ₹1–3 lakh per year to the tuition fees for hostel, mess, exam, caution deposit and miscellaneous charges. We share a complete year-wise outflow estimate before you commit to any college.
Yes — management quota is a regulated institutional seat category recognised by state Fee Regulating Authorities. The higher fee subsidises state-quota seats inside the same college. We only work with NMC/NIRF-recognised institutions and share the FRA-approved fee schedule upfront.
From counselling to seat lock, expect 4–8 weeks depending on the state and round. For management/NRI direct routes, the process can complete in 2–3 weeks if documents are in order.
The initial consultation, college shortlisting and counselling guidance is free. We charge a transparent admission-management fee only after we successfully secure your seat — and only if you choose to engage us for the end-to-end service.
