I am going to apply for NEET exam where the application date is available i.e. in the December month and the exam date is announced it is on May 3rd. So I completely decided to take MBBS admission through NEET score cum counselling in Basaveshwara Medical College & Hospital, since the MBBS fee structure will be less for us. I even enquired about scholarship and hostel, they told me for reserved category lot many opportunities are available in terms of scholarship facility and even hostel admission can be done at course admission time since it is on the basis of first come first serve.
We should qualify in national medical entry test called has NEET and this will be normally directed in the long stretch of May for Medical admission. After the NEET is over they will report the outcomes of the students or results and afterward the counseling will be held in our state by KEA. We should apply in the KEA site and register online for this process. Basaveshwara Medical College & Hospital cut-off marks are very important for student’s reference in filling the colleges we need. BMC, Chitradurga admissions were also given to be on this basis but students also do take private quota seat.
In 12th I had taken PCMB and after we clear the 12th with good aggregate we had to write the entrance test called as the NEET. Basaveshwara medical college cut off was not that much so on the decent marks we could actually get admission in this college. All the Karnataka students must apply for the online counselling conducted by the KEA and we must do online registration for the online counselling. Even choice filling must be done for the colleges we needed as per the NEET ranking we have got. The KEA people will give us the college according to our choice filling round and the marks we have got.
