Sir I am in general category and primarily a NEET aspirant. 1) My NEET score is around 507 marks. 2) My IAT 2025 score is 111 marks 3) I got Electrical and CSE with minor AI &ML from VIT Chennai. Kindly help me to understand my best option among the above. Best regards Arvind

Ans: Arvind, With a NEET score of 507 (General category), admission to government MBBS colleges is unattainable, as the 2024 cutoff for state quotas in competitive states like Maharashtra and Karnataka ranged from 540–570. Private medical colleges remain feasible but entail ?15–30 lakh/year fees, with moderate placement support for clinical roles. Your IAT score of 111 aligns with IISER Tirupati (expected cutoff: 105–110) and IISER Berhampur (105–110), offering research-focused BS-MS programs with 70–80% placement rates in academia/R&D, though core science roles are niche.

VIT Chennai’s CSE with AI/ML minor reports an 85–90% placement rate (2025) in IT/tech roles via 980+ recruiters like Microsoft and Amazon, with 30–40% of graduates securing AI/ML positions. The Electrical Engineering program has a 60–70% placement rate, primarily in embedded systems and power sectors.

Recommendation: Prioritize CSE with AI/ML at VIT Chennai for assured tech-sector employability and industry-aligned training, leveraging its robust recruitment network. If research/academia is a priority, opt for IISER Berhampur/Tirupati, accepting lower immediate employability for long-term scientific pathways. Reserve NEET-based private MBBS only if committed to clinical careers despite high costs and competitive postgraduate entrances. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
