I’ve pursued my MBBS at RMC. In order to get through RMC, the candidates will need to meet the eligibility criteria, which include the candidate, should be of min. 17 years of age and have secured a min. of 50% average marks in their 12th grade from science stream at a recognized institute. RMC direct admissions are done based on eligibility criteria, it is for those who can’t get through merit admissions. RMC merit admissions are done for those who have secured a good score in the NEET-UG, within the RMC NEET cutoff threshold which varies annually. Although, a min of 50th percentile is required to be considered for counseling.
