How to Score for NEET to Get Admission in Government Veterinary Colleges

Aspiring veterinarians often wonder about the specific score needed for NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) to secure admission into government veterinary colleges. The required score can vary depending on various factors such as your domicile state, category (Unreserved, OBC, SC, ST, etc.), and the specific college you are targeting.

General Requirements for Government Veterinary Colleges

To secure admission in government veterinary colleges, especially through the all India quota seats under the general category, a score of 525 is generally required in NEET. This threshold is slightly lower for certain specific seats like BHU (Banaras Hindu University) veterinary seats, so it is advised to register for these as early as possible through the BHU website.

Performance Targets for Different Categories

The score required for admission in government veterinary colleges can range from a minimum of 515 to a high of 580, depending on your category:

Best government veterinary college: 550 Good government veterinary college: 530 Okay government/private veterinary college: 510-520 The above scores apply to unreserved and OBC students. For SC and ST students, a rank around 60-95k will also qualify you, which is significantly lower than the general category scores.

Historically, the cut-off scores are based on the previous year’s data, with the 2017 cut-off scores being a reliable reference. This means that understanding the previous year’s trends can give you a clear picture of the scores needed for the next round of veterinary counseling.
