Understanding Cut-offs
MBBS cut-offs change every year and depend on state, category, college type (Government / Private / Deemed) and the quota (AIQ, State, Management, NRI). Government colleges normally need higher NEET scores, while private and deemed colleges may accept lower scores but charge higher fees.
After NEET-UG results are declared, MBBS seats are allotted through central (MCC) counselling and state counselling portals. The basic steps are similar across states.
Tip from Promote Education: Always prepare a clear Plan A (reach), Plan B (realistic) and Plan C (safe) college list before counselling starts.
MBBS fee structures vary widely. Government medical colleges are comparatively affordable, while private and deemed universities can be significantly more expensive.

Private & Deemed Universities
In states like West Bengal and Karnataka, counselling bodies such as WBMCC and KEA publish detailed fee notifications and college-wise seat matrices each year. Always cross-check current-year PDFs before payment.
MBBS training is divided into pre-clinical, para-clinical and clinical phases, followed by a compulsory rotating internship that builds real-world patient-care skills.

Throughout MBBS, you’ll practise case-taking, bedside manners, prescription writing, emergency care, documentation, ethics and communication through ward postings and community visits.
