NEET Score vs Country: Where Can You Get In?

← Back to all articles

Your NEET score decides more than you think

For MBBS abroad, you only need to qualify NEET (around 138 for General category as per recent cutoffs). But your actual score still matters — it shapes which countries and universities give you the best long-term outcomes, scholarships, and even PG opportunities.

Score band: 550+ — Aim high

With 550+, you're on the borderline of an Indian government seat. If you miss it, consider countries with globally portable degrees:

• Germany — nearly free tuition, but requires German language (B2/C1)
• Poland and Hungary — EU degrees, strong USMLE/PLAB track record
• Georgia's top universities like Tbilisi State Medical University

Score band: 400–550 — Best of both worlds

This is the sweet spot for premium options abroad:

• Russia — top government universities like Kazan Federal and Sechenov
• Georgia — 100% English medium, European lifestyle, no entrance exams
• Kazakhstan — NMC-approved universities at ₹20–30 lakhs total

Score band: 138–400 — Plenty of solid choices

Qualifying NEET opens dozens of NMC-approved universities:

• Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan — lowest total costs (₹18–28 lakhs)
• Russia — regional government universities
• Nepal — closest to home, similar curriculum to India
