    Dear Student,

    With 158 marks in the NEET 2025 Exam, the chances of getting admission into any government colleges under any category are slim. Almost all the government medical institutions demand higher marks. However, applicants with this score range can opt for some private colleges like Santosh Medical College, Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, DY Patil College (for Allied Health Courses), etc.

    Thank You
