NEET 2026: 273 marks, expected AIR 6.5-7 lakh. Need realistic private MBBS college suggestions
Hi everyone,
I scored 273 marks in NEET UG 2026, and based on the current estimates, my expected AIR is around 6.5-7 lakh.
I have decided not to take another drop, so I'm looking for realistic private MBBS options.
Which would be the best college for me.
A few details:
- General category
- Budget: Around ₹80 lakh to ₹90 lakhs (including tuition, hostel, etc.)
- Open to colleges anywhere in India
- Also open to deemed universities if they are realistically possible at my rank
- I'm not interested in studying abroad
I'm looking for honest guidance from people who have gone through counseling recently.
Specifically, I want to know:
Which private/deemed MBBS colleges are realistically possible at my score/rank?
Which states should I target during counseling (My Domicile is Uttar Pradesh)?
Which colleges should I avoid because of poor academics, low patient flow, or hidden fees?
Is management quota a realistic option for my rank? If yes, which colleges should I keep on my list?
Please share your counseling experience or cutoff if you've taken admission recently. I'd really appreciate genuine advice rather than guesses.
Thanks in advance!
