Dear Student,

It is unlikely to secure a government medical college seat for MD Radiology with a NEET PG 2025 AIR 17945, even for the ST category students. The competition for MD Radiology is usually higher than in other streams of study. You may refer to the NEET PG ranks vs marks analysis for more information.

Thank you!
