Step 2: Identify Your Score
Find the best score from RE-NEET + Main NEET.
Step 3: Decide Your State
Which state quota will you use for counselling? State quota gives a lower cutoff.
Step 4: Use the College Predictor
Our NEET College Predictor will automatically suggest the best colleges based on your score:
- Realistic colleges for your score
- Category-wise filter
- State-wise options
- Based on previous year data
Step 5: Talk to a Counselling Expert
If you are still confused after using the predictor, talk 1-on-1 with our Expert Counsellors.
Options Even with Low Score
If your score is low, consider these options:
- **BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery)** — Lower cutoff
- **BSc Nursing** — Good career option
- **Ayurveda / Homeopathy / Unani** — AYUSH courses
- **Paramedical courses** — MLT, Radiology, Physiotherapy
- **Private college management quota** — Paid seats
- **State quota** — Some states have a low cutoff
In NEET Counselling, we guide you in detail about all these options.
