Your Chance to get a MBBS Seat in Meghalaya

The most difficult time for any student is waiting till the counseling process after NEET to know whether he/she is getting the college of his/her choice or not? Sometimes this dilemma persists for a few months due to multiple rounds of counselling. Due to COVID-19 it has become more difficult due to All India Quota and parallel counseling of different states. The counseling process is very complex where 550+ government.. and private colleges offer 83000+ seats and the fee variation is also huge which ranges from less than 1 lakh to 2.5 crore for the course. Dreams are shattered when a silly mistake in choice filling or wrong selection of college leads to a poorly ranked college. Imagine getting a paid seat or no seat at all due to lack of genuine guidance!

Medical PG in India or NEXT

During MBBS study, a student realizes the importance of being a specialist. They also understand the competitiveness to secure MD/MS Seat in Govt College.
