NEET 2020 Score and Eligibility: What to Do After Scoring 200 Marks?
Scoring around 200 marks in the NEET UG 2020 can be a remarkable achievement, but it may leave you with questions about your eligibility for counseling. Read on to understand the rules, your options, and how to proceed with your medical or dental aspirations.
Eligibility Criteria for NEET UG 2020
To determine your eligibility for NEET counseling based on your score, it's crucial to understand the detailed criteria set by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
Selection Criteria for All India Quota (AIQ) Seats
The All India Quota (AIQ) selection process is typically one of the most critical for students. According to the NTA, all candidates who qualified for AIQ seats based on their NEET UG 2020 rank conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) are eligible for counseling, except for Jammu and Kashmir (JK).
Eligible candidates can download their rank letters or results from the NTA website. This process includes checking the cutoff ranks, which are also available under the heading 'notice' on the NTA website.
For NEET 2020, the cutoff rank for 15 All India Quota seats was the same as the MCI/DCI cutoff. If you fall below this cutoff, you will not be eligible for AIQ counseling.
Your Personalized Cutoff
Scoring 200 marks in NEET UG 2020 is a good score but not always enough to secure AIQ counseling unless you are within the cutoff rank. For instance, if you are from a Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), or Other Backward Class (OBC) category, you might find a chance even with a lower score.
However, for General Category candidates, the cutoff for regular counseling is typically higher. If you are a General Category candidate, you may want to consider another attempt in the following year to improve your score.
Options for Counseling
While 200 marks can secure a spot in the NEET 2020 counseling process, the success depends on whether you fall below the AIQ cutoff. Here are your next steps:
Exploring Lowest-Rated Colleges
If you are particularly concerned about affordability and are thrilled to secure a seat but your score does not meet the AIQ cutoff, consider private colleges. Many private institutions offer a range of options based on your score.
You can reach out to private college counselors or institutions for further guidance and assistance in the counseling process. They can provide information on the options available, colleges, and the rates for admission.

Whether you secure an AIQ seat or need to explore other avenues, this information will help you make an informed decision about your future medical or dental career aspirations.
