If you belong to SC/ST/OBC/EWS categories, many government medical colleges provide fee waivers or additional seat reservations. Ensure you apply with valid certificates during the counselling process.
4. Prefer Central Government Institutions
Top scorers should give priority to centrally funded institutes like:
- AIIMS (Delhi, Bhopal, Raipur, Rishikesh, etc.)
- JIPMER, Puducherry
- BHU and AMU Medical Colleges
These colleges charge minimal tuition, offer good hostels, and are renowned for high academic standards.

|---|---|---|
| 650+ | ₹6,000 – ₹50,000 | AIIMS, MAMC, Top Govt. |
| 600–649 | ₹40,000 – ₹80,000 | State Govt. Colleges |
| 550–599 | ₹80,000 – ₹1,20,000 | Lower-Ranked Govt. Colleges |
Documents Required After NEET 2025:
- NEET 2025 Scorecard
- 10th & 12th Marksheets
- Category Certificate (if applicable)
- Domicile Certificate
- ID Proof (Aadhaar/PAN/Passport)
